+++ title = "Rust Run Series at the Bangalore Rust meetup group" date = 2018-12-02 +++
I took over the responsibility of being primary speaker at the rustox meetup group in February 2018 from Ragini and Saifi who founded this group and used to host it every weekend. Have learned a lot from them.
Saifi had envisioned a series on Rust topics for beginners, which we decided to continue. The goals for 2018 by him are outlined here. However, it felt after a while catering to beginners alone and since there are always people coming on-board, no progress can be made beyond a certain point. There had already been a beginners series in 2017. With that in mind and after talking with Raj, who was now the organizer for sister group FOSS Cafe, we decided that there would be a fundamental topic one week and the next week some crate or project could be discussed. And this would alternate and keep on continuing. This could cater to both beginners as well as those who were interested in some more intermediate level topics.
With Jyotsna Gupta also helping with the Mozilla and Rust swag, we decided to name this series as Rust Run. The following meetup events have been conducted as part of the series.
A big thanks to HackerEarth who have been forthcoming in providing the venue for meetups in last few months and also to 91SpringBoard and ThoughtFactory where a lot of the earlier meetups were conducted. Here are some pictures from the meetups conducted at HackerEarth.
