As one of the projects that benefited from the #SummerOfNix last year, we can say that packaging a #FOSS project for a distribution you love is an immense public good. It helps the distribution of projects and helps to strengthen that distribution as well.

Because of Moss Mob, #librecast has now been upstreamed to #nixpkgs 🎉 This was only possible due to the hard work of the Mob and also to an experienced Nix Packager to foster in those packages. So from us at Librecast, we'd like to thank Albert Chae, @[email protected] ,Dominic Mills, @[email protected] and @nerves. We'd also like to thank @[email protected] for helping to get our three packages upstreamed. https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=librecast
