Let's make NixOS 25.05 another great release.

numinit, Morgan, is an awesome guy. I've used his mesh network which runs off Protectli boxes and it works great.

We've got another Nix user who's a Subatomo.

Got back last night from Planet Nix and SCALE 22x. It was awesome to see System76 and Ampere Computing. They were gracious enough to provide us with a Thelio Astra to display at Planet Nix and the NixOS booth at SCALE.

We are pleased to introduce Tristan Ross (@thecomputerguy.bsky.social), a member of the LLVM team and a Nix maintainer, who will be discussing 'The Nix PR Pipeline'

I plan on running for a position on the NixOS Foundation in the future. I've mentioned it on Twitter. I'm hoping to make new connections which the community could offer to help spread Nix. I'm also looking to clean up the drama.
