<h3>Contributing to NixOS</h3>
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span8">
<p>It’s pretty easy to modify NixOS. All you need to do is get a copy
of the Nixpkgs repository (which contains the NixOS sources as
well):</p>

<pre>
<span class="nix-command">git clone git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git</span>
</pre>

<p>After making modifications to the sources, you can use them as
follows:</p>

<pre>
<span class="nix-command">nixos-rebuild switch -I nixpkgs=/path/to/my/nixpkgs</span>
</pre>

<h2>Acknowledgments</h2>

<p>The Nix package manager was developed by <a
href="https://nixos.org/~eelco/">Eelco Dolstra</a> as
part of his PhD research in the <a
href="http://www.cs.uu.nl/wiki/Trace/WebHome">TraCE project</a>,
funded by the <a href="http://www.jacquard.nl/">Jacquard programme</a>
of the <a href="http://www.nwo.nl/">Netherlands Organisation for
Scientific Research</a> (NWO) and <a
href="http://www.serc.nl/">SERC</a>. The first prototype of NixOS was
developed by <a href="http://www.tjaldur.nl/">Armijn Hemel</a> as
his master’s thesis project. Hydra, the Nix-based continuous build
system, was developed as part of the LaQuSo Buildfarm project, funded
by <a href="https://www.4tu.nl/nirict/">NIRICT</a> / <a
href="http://www.laquso.com/">LaQuSo</a>.</p>

<p>The NixOS community has been supported by various companies and institutes over
