A New Chapter for the NixOS Foundation On March 4th, 2025, we welcomed a new NixOS Foundation Board — marking the first-ever board rotation under our newly established constitution (https://github.com/NixOS/org/blob/23b3af2f7a3240c6a5343f3234e8e0befe26b7a0/doc/constitution.md). Change is always a big step, but we believe this one is for the better! With clearly defined roles and a more structured approach, the Foundation is set up for success in supporting the Nix & NixOS ecosystem.

Following a thorough selection process, carefully coordinated with the Steering Committee (https://github.com/NixOS/org/blob/23b3af2f7a3240c6a5343f3234e8e0befe26b7a0/doc/governance.md#governance), the new board members are:

• President/Chair: Ron Efroni Rotman (https://github.com/refroni) (continuing role) (@ron (https://discourse.nixos.org/u/ron/))

• Secretary: Silvan Mosberger (https://github.com/infinisil) (@infinisil (https://discourse.nixos.org/u/infinisil))

• Director of Legal Affairs: Ryan Trinkle (https://github.com/ryantrinkle) (@ryantrinkle (https://discourse.nixos.org/u/ryantrinkle))

• Treasurer: Maximilian Habryka (https://github.com/Lassulus) (@lassulus (https://discourse.nixos.org/u/lassulus/))

• Director of Community Support: Sebastian Kraus (https://github.com/Ra33it0) (@ra33it0 (https://discourse.nixos.org/u/ra33it0))

This team is at the heart of the Foundation’s mission — to strengthen and support the Nix & NixOS community.

A Huge Thank You To everyone who participated — whether by nominating, giving feedback, or simply showing support—your engagement made this possible. Seeing so many community members step up to contribute has been truly inspiring!

What’s Next?

• Legal Handover – The transition process with the KVK in Utrecht is underway.

• Onboarding & Operations – In the coming weeks and months, we’ll focus on getting the new board fully onboarded and operational.

Looking forward to an exciting future — together!
