The mission of the foundation is to support the Nix ecosystem's infrastructure, and projects.
We’re proud to sponsor NixCon 2026! Nix has moved well beyond being a powerful tool for individual developers and has become core infrastructure for the world' most important companies. At DetSys, we’re building the platform enterprises need to adopt Nix with confidence. See you in Kraków.
Coming to NixCon this week? 🙂↕️ We (read: @oppi.li) are running a session on the first hack day, Friday the 25th at 2 pm on reproducible infra with Nix and SSH and how you can manage your infra too 🛠️ Look for the sheep t-shirts 🐑 or ping us here on Friday, and we'll tell you where we've landed!
