Community Showcase
--------------------------

Iason Paraskevopoulos

Title: Building an OSS Remote Pair Programming App in Rust

Abstract:
Hopp is a multi-user remote control and screen sharing app designed for fast, natural collaboration. This talk walks through how the system works end-to-end, from cross-platform screen capture and input handling to low-latency video streaming. It covers why we chose Tauri for cross-platform development early on, the headaches caused by WebKit’s inconsistencies and WebRTC issues, and why we are moving towards a Rust-native UI.

David Wood (Rust Compiler Team Co-Lead)

Title: Extending Rust’s notions of sizedness

Abstract:
This talk is based on work I am completing upstream as the co-lead of the compiler team and the lead of Arm’s Rust team. It is based on this RFC - https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3729, which is partially implemented. We hope to stabilise the implemented parts before this talk is presented.

More Talks to come......
