After the talks, some of us will head up to a pub nearby to chat, do join us if interested.

**\# Talks**

**\#\# Adam Hose \(@adisbladis\): Derivations demystified \- How Nix works under the hood**

We'll take a dive into how Nix expressions translate into derivations and how they are turned into build results.

**\#\# Utku Demir: Optimising nixpkgs\.dockerTools**

During the talk, I will talk about the infrastructure for building Docker images using Nix. I will start by the story of a customer problem that led to a significant performance improvement, and end with my experience on contributing to a large open source codebase.
