Project Update: The Safety-Critical Rust Consortium Two Years In
Thursday September 10, 2026 09:40 - 09:50 EDT
The Safety-Critical Rust Consortium (SCRC) was kicked off two years ago, amazingly enough, at RustConf 2024 right here in Montreal. In this talk Pete will recap (briskly!) the last two years of the SCRC, the great work that's been accomplished and the road that lies ahead for getting Rust into more planes, trains, and automobiles. Rust has earned respect in helping to improve the quality of software through its memory-, type-, and thread-safety without doubt. However, there do remain regulatory and compliance items which the SCRC is actively working together on to expand the usage of Rust to safety-critical domains and higher levels of safety-criticality.

Project Goals : Funding :: Chocolate : Peanut Butter
Thursday September 10, 2026 10:00 - 10:10 EDT
Project Goals and funding are two good things that are far better together. The Rust Foundation and the Rust Project are working together to build a sustainable pipeline that turns the growing demand for Rust into increasing funding, both for general maintenance and for important project goals (pun definitely intended). Niko will walk through the pieces already in place, from the Foundation's Maintainer Fund to the Maintainer-in-Residence program, and how the Project Goals program helps the whole community, funders and maintainers alike, align on priorities together.
