Why You’re a Good Fit

I've already been helping out with the effort to find new sponsors and connections. I've been active with NixOS for 3 years and I have a clear idea as how we can increase Nix's adoption and community size. I hope to leverage connections provided by the community. I'm responsible for quite a bit of recent work on LLVM and the formation of the stdenv team. I also am the NixOS 24.11 release manager.

Other Disclosures

I work at Goodwill in a donation center so there is very little in conflict of interest.

Why They’re a Good Fit

Long time contributor, active in discourse support & current admin of NixOS (Unofficial) Discord. They have been the backbone for new users and I believe if they have the time to dedicate further, they would make an outstanding choice.
