information about getting nix merch

Latest comment: 9 September 20231 comment1 person in discussion

How to get merch (about (Nix or) NixOS) for free (or cheap) to support an event with Nix topics?

The Marketing Team (or someone else) should provide a list where (and how) to get stuff. There are companies out there that give away free "promotional merchandise" to conferences (for example, even trade shows or events like that). A lot of them are having very Nix(OS) focused stuff. Some of those are having a (smaller or bigger) branding of the company. But there are a lot of articles that are absolutely branding free. NixOS logo stickers are an example for that. Which companies are interested to send merch to organizers and how to order them?

Hi, this comment was removed by one of your edits:

NOTE: Please don't change the layout/categorizing without first coordinating with the other editors.

And, relatedly, maybe I missed it, but was there an attempt at coordinating with the other editors? I see you have severely changed the page, while causing new design issues (especially with regard to responsiveness), and changed the content in drastic ways.

I'll be reverting many of the changes. samueldr (talk) 19:28, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Sorry for (maybe) breaking things. What wasn't working anymore? (What works better now?)

@Samueldr

How to coordinate “with the other editors”?

My approach was (just the) wikipedia:en:KISS-principle. (From my point of view, the use of HTML syntax instead of Wiki syntax is wrong (in a Wiki).)

Using <b> instead of ''' (or “useless” <span> and so on) seems bad style to me. Vater (talk) 00:42, 14 May 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
