Staging Ground: Building for Upstream in clan.lol

In this talk we(I?) want to show on how we used clan.lol as a staging ground for different upstream features.

some projects we used/breed inside clan and later separated out (or are separating out) or are maintained by us:
disko
nixos-anywhere
nixos-facter
vars
nix-select
wrappers
jsonschema
nixos container tests
We want to show a rough roadmap what we want to do with these features/projects, where we want to go, what sucks and what to improve upon it.

We think upstreaming what is ripe is the best way to ensure a stable ecosystem growth and wide adoption. We want to build software for the future and with lots of community feedback.

We also want to showcase limitations we identified with some of these project and how we worked around those or solved them.
