Notes from the meeting.

## Building with Nix (Ruffin)

Draft PR: [ENH: Add Nix flake for building Slicer with system packages on NixOS by ruffsl · Pull Request #9101 · Slicer/Slicer · GitHub](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/pull/9101)

(deep discussion with lots of opinions exchanged)

## Failing macOS tests (Sam)

[Failing macos tests](https://slicer.cdash.org/tests/32695768), after [this commit](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/commit/14627a20b9ddc202488f12bbe9be7913a0ef2fde).

### Error message

```auto
        PasteBoard: Error creating pasteboard: com.apple.pasteboard.clipboard [-4960]
        PasteBoard: Error creating pasteboard: com.apple.pasteboard.find [-4960]

```

- seems like a bad interaction with “special” characters and clipboard

### Fix

Attempted fix: add

```auto
export LANG="C.UTF-8"
export LC_ALL="C.UTF-8"

```

to `~/.zshrc`, seems to work, will see if it is loaded correctly when new terminal session are used

We may need to add this to the Slicer docs if it becomes a common issue for mac users

## Bernarndo is looking for new clients
