Behind every PR is a human experience. 💻 To move past assumptions, our team ran a broad survey & controlled qualitative study on how race impacts contributor experiences in open source. Super excited that our paper is out in JSS! 🎓✨ Link + co-author thanks in thread 👇 #OSS #Research #OpenSource

Just like last year, we replaced a whole wall of movie posters with our own punny movie posters at the cinema where RustWeek 2026 took place. I designed seven new posters for this year's event. See the thread below 👇

Nine movie posters displayed next to each other.

I'm *very* excited to report that we got initial funding and have hired our first Rust maintainers! RustNL's Rust Maintainers Team starts out with two full time maintainers, one intern, and five part-time maintainers, now stably employed to continue their work on Rust! 🎉 rustnl.org/maintainers/

Screenshot of the website, listing the eight team members: Oli (full-time), Waffle (full-time), Tiffany (intern), Mara (part-time), Jana (part-time), Nia (part-time), Bjorn (part-time), and Folkert (part-time).

I'm excited to share what I've been working on with @erikjee.bsky.social: RustNL's #rustlang Maintainers Fund! Many people and companies contributing to Rust, but there are fewer and fewer paid positions for general maintenance (reviews,cleanups,etc). We need to fix that. bsky.app/profile/rust...
