Rust Meetup Linz

It's time for the steel city to Rust!

Open Meetup

Intro

In the last years, Rust has become a popular programming language. Many use it, even more are eager to learn it. Linz has meetups for many programming languages, but Rust has been missing - and that is about to change.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of a Rust meetup in Linz.

The goal is to bring together people who are using Rust or who are curious and want to learn about it. We invite everybody to contribute short talks about the Rust programming language or related technologies. It might be an interesting feature you discovered, a project you have been working on, a finding of yours from a real-world project, a Rust-related book that you want others to know about, anything that you want to contribute to the local Rust community is welcome. Before and after the talks there will be time for informal chatting.

Because of the current Covid-19 situation, the Rust meetup Linz will happen online in the foreseeable future. On the long run, in-person meetups with streaming of the delivered talks are planned.

Happy New Year! It is time for the first Rust Linz meetup in 2023. Are you as excited as we are? We look forward to two excellent speakers and hope many of you will join us.

Qdrant - a Vector Search Engine in Rust by Arnaud Gourlay

ector search engines have recently been gaining popularity. In this session, we will be explaining what they can achieve, peek under the hood to check what is inside, and see why Rust is a good fit for the job.

About Arnaud

Arnaud Gourlay is a software engineer at Qdrant where he contributes to the Qdrant vector search engine. Long time OSS user and maintainer, he enjoys programming in Rust and sharing his knowledge.

Rust at Aleph Alpha by Markus Klein

At Aleph Alpha we strive to create a sovereign, European AI tech stack. We use Rust to build our API. In doing so we also stumble upon Problems outside of the Domain of AI and Large Language Models. One of these sparked the Open Source `async-events` crate, which might also be helpful in your Distributed System.

About Markus

Markus Klein is the Engineering Lead at Aleph Alpha. He spend most of his career as a C++ Developer, working in the Domains of Distributed Systems and Data Engineering. He is using Rust as his go-to Language for private Projects for eight years and is the core maintainer of several crates, with his most meaningful contribution to the Rust ecosystem probably being `odbc-api` crate. He also finds it strange to write about himself in third person.

Participation

Do you want to deliver a talk at the Rust meetup Linz? Great! Please enter your suggested topic in Sessionize.

Submit Talk in Sessionize

If possible, talks should be delivered in English. If you are not comfortable speaking English, German is an option, too. Rust is still a rather young language. Thus, not many people consider themselves as Rust experts. Because of this, we are not just looking for deep dive content. Introductory sessions are great, too, so that beginners, students, and hobbyists have the opportunity to start their Rust journey.

You do not need to be a Rust pro to talk at our meetup! If you have something Rust-related to share that you are passionate about, we would love to have you as a speaker.
