The Rust language gets a foundation
The newly formed Rust Foundation has announced
its existence. "Today, on behalf of the Rust Core team, I’m
excited to announce the Rust Foundation, a new independent non-profit
organization to steward the Rust programming language and ecosystem, with a
unique focus on supporting the set of maintainers that govern and develop
the project. The Rust Foundation will hold its first board meeting
tomorrow, February 9th, at 4pm CT. The board of directors is composed of 5
directors from our Founding member companies, AWS, Huawei, Google,
Microsoft, and Mozilla, as well as 5 directors from project leadership, 2
representing the Core Team, as well as 3 project areas: Reliability,
Quality, and Collaboration." Mozilla has transferred its trademarks
and domains for Rust over to the foundation.
