The biannual [Zürich NixOS ZHF hackathon](https://zurich.nix.ug/) has become somewhat of an institution for maintaining the tradition of preparing the upcoming NixOS release.
The main goal of the two-day gathering is to bring down the number of build failures on the [continuous integration system Hydra](https://status.nixos.org/) before the release: ZHF stands for *Zero Hydra Failures*.
It also presents a great opportunity to learn Nix, squash bugs together, get to know each other, discuss current events, and make plans for the future.
This is the greatest event in the series so far, with more than 40 participants from all over Europe, including many high-profile contributors and maintainers in the Nix ecosystem.
[Fediversity engineers attended](${link config.collections.news.by-name.zhf-24-11}) to present prototypes and exchange ideas with other developers.

Robert held a lightning talk on the design of [NixOps4](https://github.com/nixops4/nixops4), which is currently in the prototype stage of development.
Before that, Nicolas had already shown an internal demonstration that NixOps4 is capable of deploying multiple NixOS services in the Fediversity test environment.
In the afternoon, Robert, Valentin, and Koen got together with Eli from [Thymis](https://thymis.io) and Johannes from [Clan](https://clan.lol/) to walk each other through the architecture of their respective systems.
This was an extraordinarily fruitful encounter that helped us to identify overlaps and potential for future collaboration!
