Next to the Contributing to NixOS section at the NixOS community page on the official NixOS website we want to additionally describe how you can get involved in the NixOS ecosystem.

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.
