General Info

We usually study a specific topic. The meetup starts with a presentation and a discussion follows. After the presentation, we talk about Rust news. Finally, the remaining time is used for general questions, helping people out with their Rust projects, and feedback.

This is also a great place to share your experience with Rust or ask questions and get unstuck on your pet project.

Generally, anyone who is interested in Rust and being part of a community of Rustaceans in Vancouver is welcome :)
