Building derivations is a lot harder, but the downloading goals is
portable enough.
The "common channel" code is due to Volth. I wonder if there is a way we
can factor it out into separate functions / files to avoid some
within-function CPP.

The warning was done to handle older Nix releases that didn't have
Docker images (091f232896), but this was
a bad idea because it causes us to silently skip uploading Docker
images if e.g. Hydra hasn't finished building them yet.
Issue #10648.
- specify meeting times in terms of a time zone rather than standard
time (the first encompasses standard time changes)
- add information on who can participate and how
- unrelated but still important: add GitHub handle to contact the team
Fix formatting violations, update blacklist to reflect moved files.
PR #10556 passed CI before the new formating rules were added, and our
CI has the race condition of allowing old results, resulting in master
getting broken.
I've added the new local.mk to the package sources. While this
should not be needed for the build, it is the simplest solution,
and won't cause many extra rebuilds, because the file won't change
very often.
setting a direction falls short of what we're already doing: guide contributors.
the direction aspect is still important, as that is the authoritative part. guidance is the supportive part.
linking to the discourse category will by default show a view sorted by
most recent post, which makes it hard to find particular meeting notes.
this also adds a procedural detail about the notes, to make that more
explicit and less dependent on being present in the meetings.
this addresses that we're too often running into open-ended discussions
about attempts to solve problems where neither the problem nor the
solution is well-understood enough to make decisions in a reasonable
amount of time.
this also prevents us from doing more work asynchronously.

in order to make the development process more transparent for everyone,
all pull requests should go through the triage process before getting
merged.
this ensures that all team members are aware of what is going on, and
that rationale for decisions is kept track of in the meeting notes for
posterity. (ideally all that should go into the commit history, but this
is a more invasive process change that needs further deliberation.)
having all team members take at least a brief but conscious look at each
change may also help with keeping our quality standards, as more
reviewers are more likely to remind each other of our shared values.
PRs that don't increase our ongoing obligations (i.e. by adding new
features) but do increase test coverage of existing features are good
things to merge for the health of the project, and thus good to
prioritize.
so far there were no even remotely measurable objectives, only a general
purpose statement.
this change is intended to focus the team's work on what I (and many
others I talked to) perceive to be the main pain point in the
development process.
