Request for a Zulip account for governance discussion
As per #142, here's the issue to request a Zulip account if you have GitHub contributions in the NixOS space. This thread is only used for invite requests for GitHub contributions as described above. If you’d like to discuss this post itself, use Discussions on Zulip for governance discussions.
The foundation board has decided to use Zulip for community governance discussions, both for the decision of the constitutional assembly within 2 weeks, and for that assembly to decide how to do community governance past that. Zulip is to be used exclusively for governance discussions, anything else is off-topic and will be removed.
Participation
The Zulip instance is readable by anybody without logging in, however participation is very loosely limited. To join the conversation you have three options:
-
If you have previously contributed to the Nix ecosystem, post a message containing a link to your contribution (see below how)
The exact kind of contribution does not matter, it doesn't even have to be code or official, as long as it is before 2024-05-01 and related to Nix.
-
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 (see below how)
-
If you do not qualify for the above, but still believe you could contribute, reach out to the Zulip moderators (see below) in private on Discourse
How to post a message
For options 1 and 2:
- If you have a relevant contribution on GitHub, post a message here
- If your relevant contribution is outside of GitHub, post a message in this Discourse thread instead
The message should contain the following:
Contribution: <PR>
Email: <email>
[!Note] Please link to just a single PR, this makes it easier to check!
As soon as a Zulip moderator (see below) has confirmed your contribution, they'll send you an invite to the given Email address.
Moderation
Zulip will be moderated to stay in line with the Zulip CoC and to stay on-topic (governance discussions only). Compared to other community platforms recently, there is zero tolerance for CoC violations on Zulip, to make sure that civil discussion is possible.
To start off clean and give everybody a chance to participate in a civil way, we will consider allowing you to join even if you've been suspended from other community platforms before. You can send an email to one of the moderators with your appeal (along with a link to your contribution). If you've only been temporarily suspended you'll definitely be allowed to join. If you've been permanently banned, the Zulip moderators will deliberate based on your appeal. Note that you'll be watched closely, and if you violate the CoC on Zulip, you will be banned permanently from all platforms.
The following people have been entrusted by the board to moderate. They also have the responsibility of inviting people as described above.
