We are just starting and are looking for help from community.
Want to help shape NixOS Weekly?
NixOS Weekly is a community driven project. Everybody in NixOS community is extremely busy and nobody alone can afford to monitor what is happening. The only way to avoid burnout is to do it together.
Ways to contribute:
-
Contribute interesting links for next issue. Best way to contribute is to open a Pull Request and contribute links / content for next blog post release. (TODO: add link)
-
Write script(s) to automate "stuff". Not everybody is a writer and enjoys writing blog posts. But some of us are quite good at writing scripts that make our life easier. Look at the issue tracker for possible issues that require some programming skills. (TODO: add link)
-
Become an Editor. For every blog post release there is going to be one person in charge and we call this an Editor. The sole responsability of this role is that blog post release happens on time and that we have an editor for next release. To become and editor all you have to do is volunteer.
Rules that editor can follow
-
Be short. NixOS Weekly is a collection of links and not a regular blog post you would write.
-
One or max 2 images are more then enough. Remember we just collect links to interesting content.
-
Techincal details: TODO write as we do our first release
- how to build the blog
- how is blog published
- how is blog preview happening
FAQ
Why did you write yet another static blog generator tool?
We couldn't agree what to use and we all love Nix. In the end it turned out to be implemented in ~30 lines of code. You start wondering if Nix is not only meant to be for package management, but also for static blog generating. :)
Is there enough things happening in a week to have weekly news?
Probably not (yet). While calling this NixOS Weekly, we will have blog releases every 2 weeks and after a month we will see if we need to change the frequency. Until we try we won't know for sure.
