Attendees: hexa, vcunat, Linus, zimbatm, Eelco, Janik, raitobezariusm, Alex

Round table

  • zimbatm
    • had no spoons to think about cache
  • vcunat
    • expensive nixos tests that could be improved
    • noticed nixos-disk-image.drv steps taking a long time in send/receive phase
  • hexa
    • unhappy with the board decision to let Anduril sponsor, like delroth. At an impass. We need to find a way to work on this together.
    • not sure if delroth is ultimately out.
    • don't want to burn out if delroth is gone.
    • I also don't want to invest time, when the org agrees to military sponsorship.
    • Next step: get to the policy, connect with delroth to see if we can keep working on it together or not.
  • Janik
    • opened issue after the open board calls about meeting infrastructure. https://github.com/NixOS/infra/issues/401
    • PR with Jitsi probably soon.
    • Do we have a database for the pads?
    • hexa: should be colocated with the machine.
    • Jonas: do we have hardware for this?
    • hexa: we can try it on caliban. If it grows too big we can move it.
