Rust Berlin Talks: The next generation

Hello everyone,

After a great restart last month, we’re happy to invite you to the next Rust Berlin meetup at the JetBrains office.

We’ll stick to the classic format: an evening with two main talks, followed by time to connect, discuss, and catch up with the community. Finger food and drinks will be available throughout the evening.

Agenda

• Doors open: 18:30
• Start: 19:00
• Short welcome and updates from JetBrains
• 2 talks (20–30 minutes each)
• Open mic / lightning talks (optional, a few minutes each)
• Networking

Speakers
Egor Lebedev - Welcome and a short note from the RustRover team

Till Adam - Slint-MCP
In this talk, Till will walk you through the implementation of the MCP server for the Slint GUI framework - and how it's implemented in Rust. He will walk you through the implementation from design to implementation.

Gaurav Gahlot - Rust meets Kubernetes
This talk is a hands-on walkthrough using kube-rs. We'll connect to a cluster, query pods, watch real-time events via async streams, and build a minimal controller - all in Rust, all running live.

Speaker Bios
Till Adam is the CCO at KDAB and has been working on open-source since the 90s. Originally a C++ company, KDAB has been working with Rust for the last 8 years. One of their biggest projects is CXX-Qt. Their specialization on the Rust side is use in hybrid, high-performance, high-correctness codebases.

Gaurav Gahlot is a Software Engineer with experience building scalable platforms with Go, Rust, and Kubernetes. He maintains the CNCF Akri project and actively contributes to open source.

Open mic & future talks
We’ll reserve a few short slots for anyone who wants to share something with the group. This can be a quick idea, a project, or an experience. Slides are optional.

If you’re interested in giving a longer talk at a future meetup, this is also a good opportunity to connect with the organizers.

Venue & access
Please arrive on time. We will have someone at the entrance to let people in between 18:30 and 19:15. After that, access becomes more difficult as the doors are locked and require manual opening.

Registration
The venue has limited capacity and events typically fill up with a waiting list. If you register and can no longer attend, even at short notice, please un-RSVP so someone else can take your spot.

Looking forward to seeing you all!
