Meetup.7

Talks:

• Your first contributions in Rust (https://github.com/RustSydney/talks/issues/9) (Michael Nelson): A quick talk on a newcomer's experience to contributing Rust code, the learning experience, and some tips.

• Update on Rustler: a Chord Distributed Hash Table (https://github.com/RustSydney/talks/issues/8) (Steve Lee): An update on a Steve's project of building a Chord Distributed Hash Table (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_(peer-to-peer)) in Rust, first mentioned in meetup.4.

• Tenatively: Distro packaging of the Rust toolchain (https://github.com/RustSydney/talks/issues/7) (Angus Lees): What's involved, a state-of-the-union of Debian Rust packaging, and the outstanding issues. Mostly Debian focussed, but also a discussion of other distros.

(Want to see/give a talk on something else? Raise an issue at https://github.com/RustSydney/talks . Speakers get t-shirts/extra-large-pajama-tops/extra-small-size-shirts-which-are-great-for-framing, depending on their physical size.)

We're in Atlassian's big meetup hall like last time, straight ahead when you exit the elevators on level 6. You'll need to get Atlassians to let you up, as always.

Pizza, drinks and wifi (Atlassian Guest/rustaceans) will be provided as always! (yeah, we've had wifi in the past - it just hasn't always been well publicised)
