Rust Meetup Linz - Meaghan Lewis on Rust, Embedded Rust with Roland Ruckerbauer

Welcome to the SECOND EDITION of the RUST MEETUP LINZ. Just as last time, we are very happy to welcome one internal guest speaker and one local Rustacean again. Hopefully, many of you find the content interesting and join us in this virtual meetup.

Our international guest this time is MEAGHAN LEWIS. Meaghan is Senior Program Manager at Microsoft and lives in the San Francisco Bay area. She focuses on creating and delivering learning experiences centered around emerging technology for Microsoft Reactors worldwide. Meaghan has a passion for teaching lifelong learners and has spent years speaking at conferences and delivering online courses.

Our local speaker in this meetup is ROLAND RUCKERBAUER. Roland studied at the Linzer Technikum and is currently working as a software developer at robart GmbH. He has been using Rust in various embedded projects and will share his experiences and learnings with us.
