It's that time of the year again, Rust Nation UK. We are excited to have Rustaceans who have flown in to meet the London community, forge new friendships, and engage in insightful discussions. Tickets are still available for the conference. Community Promo code: RustLDN2026 [https://www.rustnationuk.com/tickets](https://www.rustnationuk.com/tickets) **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......

Join us for discussions about what’s happening in the world of XP, UX and software engineering in general. **What to expect:** Lively discussion amongst a diverse group of members within a friendly and safe space. New members welcome, the only thing we ask is that you care about software engineering and are happy to offer an opinion or two. **Planned Lightning Talk: "Self-improving docs" by Rachel-Lee Nabors** After being really, really ridiculously good with docs for many years, I wanted to return to engineering. So I automated the editorial that took so much of my time! Now engineers can write really really ridiculously good docs right there in GitHub.

In the Mood for Love (traditional Chinese: 花樣年華; simplified Chinese: 花样年华; lit. 'Flower-like Years', 'the prime of one's youth') is a 2000 romantic drama film written, directed, and produced by Wong Kar-wai. A co-production between Hong Kong and France, the film follows a man (Tony Leung) and a woman (Maggie Cheung) in 1962 who discover that their spouses are having an affair. As they spend time together, they gradually develop feelings for one another. It is often listed as one of the greatest films of all time and one of the major works of Asian cinema. Please note we will not be showing the film at the meeting. Make sure you watch the film before you attend and then come and join in with the conversation. It’s just a discussion.
