Announcing Silicon Valley Nix / NixOS User Group
https://www.svnix.com
I am excited to announce that I am starting a new meetup group in the Bay Area.
Silicon Valley Nix / NixOS User Group
The focus of this meetup group is to support all contributors and users interested in Nix and NixOS to get together to learn from each other, hack on Nix related projects and to help evangelize to increase adoption of Nix and NixOS.
How do I join the meetup group?
What is NixOS and Nix?
Nix is a package manager that comes with its own language that you use to create packages with. The language is functional and it allows you to create cross platform and cross distribution builds of packages. It most important goal is for all builds to be reproducible.
NixOS is a Linux distribution that leverages Nix package manager and its language for system configuration.
Will these events be in-person or online?
We will be starting in person events from January 2023. We will be running online events also. When possible we will also stream our in person events online also.
You should consider becoming a member of our meetup group regardless of where you are located if you have an interest in Nix and NixOS as we look forward to meeting you at our online events.
Can I see a recording of the events?
Yes, we will publish the recordings of our events in this newsletter, so subscribe to be informed when they are published 👇
The recordings will also be published on our PeerTube instance and YouTube channel at a later date.
I want to chat and keep in touch with the organizers and other members, how do I do that?
We have a Matrix chat room you can join to keep in touch 👇
We look forward to chatting with you on Matrix.

We are looking for volunteers to become event hosts / co-organizers of our meetup group
If you are interested in helping with organizing events, hosting events and helping us with finding speakers get in touch.
I am hoping to put a team of organizers with aligned goals for the meetup together so our joint effort can result in regular events.
My dream is to have an event every week. A job one person cannot do.
Can you host our in person events at your companies office?
To be able to host our events in person we rely on kind companies in the Bay Area to host our events in return for some benefits such as help with your hiring and talking about your open positions at our events or simply for getting your engineering organization recognized by the greater community.
If this is something you can help us with please get in touch.
