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.

Welcome to the 9TH EDITION of the RUST MEETUP LINZ. Join us for an evening of Rust with two great sessions. This time, we welcome two speakers from Germany and the USA.
After a short introduction by the meetup organizers, JAN-ERIK REDIGER will be our first speaker. At Mozilla, Jan-Erik writes stuff so others can measure thingies. He's an active member of the Rust community team since 2014. He coached at Rust workshops & runs Rust conferences in Europe. To get away from computers he picked up scuba diving to see the world under water. At the Rust Linz meetup, Jan-Erik will talk about LEVERAGING RUST TO BUILD CROSS-PLATFORM MOBILE LIBRARIES.
Next up is HERBERT WOLVERSON. He will speak to us about LEARNING RUST WITH GAME DEVELOPMENT. Herbert has worked as a programmer and an indie game developer since the late 1990s. He’s taught programming and IT skills at a variety of levels, contributes to multiple Open Source projects, and is active in the game development scene. Herbert is the author of Hands-On Rust: Effective Learning through 2D Game Development and Play.

Leveraging Rust to Build Cross-Platfrom Mobile LibrariesAt Mozilla, Firefox is not the only product we ship. Many others — including a variety of smartphone applications, and certainly not just web browsers — are built by various teams across the organization. These applications are composed of a multitude of libraries which, when possible, are reused across platforms. In the past 2 years we used Rust to rebuild one of these libraries: the library powering the telemetry in our mobile applications is now integrated into Android and iOS applications and since earlier this year on Desktop as well. This talk will showcase how this small team managed to create a cross-platform Rust library, and ship it to a bunch of platforms all at once. It's an update (and shorter) version of a talk I gave last year once. About Jan-Erik RedigerAt Mozilla Jan-Erik writes stuff so others can measure thingies. He's an active member of the Rust community team since 2014. He coached at Rust workshops & runs Rust conferences in Europe. To get away from computers he picked up scuba diving to see the world under water.

Learning Rust With Game DevelopmentIn this talk, Herbert will walk you through how he got started with Rust, created the Rust Roguelike Tutorial and then Hands-On Rust. The talk will focus on using game development as a means of learning Rust, and step through the creation of Flappy Dragon - a simple game used in Hands-On Rust to teach the language basics. About Herbert WolveronHerbert Wolverson has worked as a programmer and an indie game developer since the late 1990s. He’s taught programming and IT skills at a variety of levels, contributes to multiple Open Source projects, and is active in the game development scene.

Do you want to deliver a talk at the Rust meetup Linz? Great! Please enter your suggested topic 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.
You can watch all previous talks on YouTube.
