Dedicate https://nixpkgs.zulipchat.com/ to discuss community governance exclusively
-
The permissions are as follows
- Organization owners: Board members
- Organization admins: Board observers
- Moderators: Moderation team, board observers and @infinisil
- In addition to the CoC, they will ensure it's only used for governance discussions
- The conversations are publicly readable to anyone, but joining the conversation requires a one-time approval (see below)
-
To join the discussion on Zulip, users have three options:
- If you have contributed to the Nix ecosystem, post a message containing a link to your contribution. The exact kind of contribution does not matter, as long as it is before 2024-05-01.
- If you have made a substantial and constructive contribution to setting up a successful community-based governance structure, post a message with a link to your contribution
- If you do not qualify for the above, but still believe you could contribute, reach out to the Zulip moderators in private on Discourse
-
To post a message:
- If your contribution was on GitHub, post it to {dedicated foundation Github issue}
- If it was not on Github, post it to {Discourse thread}
- The message might look like: Contribution: [some-link] Email: [some-email]
- As soon as a Zulip moderator has confirmed your contribution, they'll send an invite
- They'll check that the contribution is from the same user and that it happened before 2024-05-01
-
Should banned people be allowed to join?
- Yes, but they get one shot to be in the conversation, with extreme prejudice
- If they blow it, it's a permaban (for all community platforms, not just Zulip)
