Hello again from the Rust Leadership Council! We wanted to share an update on what the Council has been working on since our last update.
As announced in May, James Munns joined the Council representing the Launching Pad.
We have been coordinating with RustNL for hosting an all-hands event for all Rust project members. We will also be celebrating Rust's 10-year anniversary at RustWeek 2025.
Part of this coordination has involved ensuring we are capable of handling the travel expenses, and reserving funds for the event itself if needed.
We have continued to coordinate with planning for RustConf. James Munns and Jack Huey will be giving a keynote talk called "An Outsider's Guide to the Rust Project", which will focus on the teams and structure that make up the Rust Project today, how the teams communicate and make collaborative decisions, and how new people and groups can get involved.
We coordinated with Ubuntu Summit for representing the Rust project. Eric Holk has volunteered to give a talk at the event.
We performed a survey for Rust project members to provide feedback on the effectiveness of the Council. A summary of the results was published at https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/08/26/council-survey.html.
We coordinated with the Foundation for reviewing applications for the 2024 Fellowship Program. Information should currently be going out to the awardees, and more will be announced soon.
And a few other items:
There are various efforts underway on projects that have had significant discussions since the last update, but have not concluded with any decisions, yet. They are:
The Foundation has provided a budget to the Council to spend on the Project. We have had numerous discussions about how to spend that budget. We have already approved a process for support travel grants from project members, and continue to refine that process and policy. We have also approved to reserve some funds for the Rust all-hands event next year.
Discussions are still ongoing about other things to consider funding. Additionally, we don't have a shared bookkeeping system with the Foundation, and we intend to find some way to better track our spending.
We have been looking more closely at what to do with the Launching Pad. A short-term proposal has been put forward to start moving some of the active groups into more permanent positions within the Project.
We are also looking at sunsetting the concept of "working groups". Some working groups may be renamed to be normal teams, or some may be retired if they are not active. These are just initial ideas to consider, discussions are still ongoing.
We have had more discussions about what it means to be a "member" of the Rust Project. At the heart of this discussion is whether or not we consider working group members to be members of the Project. Historically we have used the all@rust-lang.org email alias for tracking members, but that alias excludes working group members.
We publish minutes from all Council meetings to the Leadership Council repo. Links to the minutes since our last update are:
