@thufschmitt created a follow-up post discussing the creation of the recent NixOS Foundation Event Sponsorship Policy as well as the widespread effects that both the lack of a policy and the lengthy implementation of this announced one has caused. Readers of nixpkgs.news are encouraged to read the announcement directly. Many important contributors and members of the community were affected by these recent events and the comments of this post reflect the commitment of many to build a positive ecosystem if they are able to.

@blusk has announced Nix-inspect, a TUI for browsing nix configs and other expressions. Providing a more ergonomic and discoverable way to browse Nix expressions than the Nix REPL, this program should be added to your tool belt right away. The project can be found on GitHub.
