This article provides an overview of various ways of engaging the Nix community. See [https://nixos.org/nixos/community.html official NixOS community page] for more information.
This article extends [https://nixos.org/community.html nixos.org/community] for how to get in touch and lists additional platforms to meet community members.


== Development ==
See the [[Nix Community]] article to learn more about who we are.


Development of [[Nix Package Manager|Nix]] and [[NixOS]] happens primarily on [[Nixpkgs]]. You can contribute by helping reporting, diagnosing  and closing issues, by creating, testing and reviewing pull-requests, and by becoming a maintainer of packages and modules hosted on the repository. For more information, see [[Nixpkgs#Contributing|the contributing section of the Nixpkgs article]].
