This article provides an overview of various ways of engaging the Nix community. See official NixOS community page for more information.
Development
Development of 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 the contributing section of the Nixpkgs article.
Communication
Chat
The Nix community chat channels are hosted on the Freenode IRC network; the primary official user channel is #nixos (searchable log), the development channel is #nixos-dev and the wiki channel is #nixos-wiki.
In addition to these IRC channels there is also the unofficial NixOS matrix channel
Mailinglist
There is currently only one official Mailinglist related to NixOS, nix-devel. You don't need to be a developer to use this mailing list, although much of the discussion delves into deeper technical issues.
Forums
For a free-form discussion forum, checkout the NixOS Reddit channel. For Q&A style discussion of any Nix related issues, check out stack overflow questions tagged Nix,NixOS, NixOps and Nixpkgs.
