The NixOS Foundation's role is to support the infrastructure and development of the NixOS project as a whole. The exact nature and scope of this might vary over time.
- Maintain the core infrastructure (Hydra, binary cache, ...)
- Pay for projects that improve the open source nixos ecosystem (security patching, a designer, etc.) but not do private work
- Hold various properties related to the project (Internet domains, ...)
