[Nix-dev] Fundraiser?

[Thomas Hunger]

There's the foundation https://nixos.org/nixos/foundation.html which would
be a great structure to collect and direct money.

Eelco - I'm not sure where to look so I couldn't find anything about the
foundation's activity. Do you keep meeting notes somewhere online?

best,
Tom
