With RustFest, we’re trying to change a few things that nag us about conferences. One of these is that it’s hard to communicate how an event works and how decisions are made. We believe that transparency is helpful here.
This is why we decided to adopt the “this week in” newsletter style to RustFest and write a little about our planning and our...
