Over the weekend of May 24-25, Fediversity developers @fricklerhandwerk and me (kiara) congregated near Zürich to attend the NixOS 25.05 Zero Hydra Failure meetup & hackathon.
As it turns out, once the event hit, NixOS 25.05 had already been released, giving attendees the opportunity to focus on longer-term efforts — as well as just better getting to know one another.
At an initial round of lightning talks, I got to give a quick overview of our project, which ended up resulting in extensive feedback (thanks, @lorenz!).
With various parts of the (local) Nix community present there, we also managed to further engage on efforts such as the NixOS website, Vars, app-shell, and a PoC by @fricklerhandwerk and @ibizaman we felt quite proud of for Nix module interfaces.
We made use of the opportunity to do some planning on Fediversity as well, which together with the external feedback we’ll process further over the coming days to further refine our roadmap.
All in all, getting to sync up with our peers from the community again was pretty fun, and we feel excited for the improvements (and meetups!) ahead.
