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.

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.
