Abstract
Present the newly created Nix team, and give a glimpse at the Nix development process. Nix has for a long time been struggling with a very low (~1) bus factor and a lack of clear development process, leading to some frustration from both users and contributors. To remedy that, we've recently created the Nix team with the goal of collectively “tak(ing) ownership of the Nix source code”. This talk presents that Nix team, and gives a glimpse at the Nix development process.
