Rust Reach & Contributing to Rust

As someone new to both Rust and open source, I didn't expect to be able to contribute to Rust. But Rust, its community, and its outreach initiatives enabled me to do just that. In this talk I'll share with you about one of the outreach initiatives that I was involved in which is Increasing Rust's Reach, contributing to Rust in general, and how Rust enables me to contribute to it while still new to both Rust and open source.

If you have any questions or comments feel free to reach out to me through Twitter: @galuhsahid
