The Rust Foundation
The Rust Foundation is an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to stewarding the Rust programming language and its global community. rustfoundation.org
- ⏳ Less than two weeks left! The @rustconf.com CFP closes Feb 16. As the host of #rustconf, we see the RustConf program as a reflection of the community. If you have a clear Rust perspective you think belongs on the program, we encourage you to submit a proposal while time remains!
- Today at #FOSDEM26: @lawngno.me is speaking on his #rustlang OSS security learnings — from a real phishing incident in the @rust-lang.org ecosystem to practical seccomp hardening for services. Grateful to @openssf.org's Alpha-Omega Project for funding this work!
- The RustConf 2026 call for talk proposals ends on Feb 16! If you're interested in speaking at this year's event but don't have your idea yet, consider this question: How is Rust shaping the future of the work you do today? Our audience would love to hear all about it.
- The Rust Foundation is delighted to welcome two new Silver Member organizations: Meilisearch & Doulos. We invite you to learn more about these dynamic, Rust-supporting organizations in our latest news announcement: rustfoundation.org/media/rust-f...
- Attending #FOSDEM26? Don't miss @lawngno.me's talks coming up on Saturday. He’ll cover real-world OSS security work — from phishing response to service hardening — made possible through collab between Rust Foundation, Rust Project, & @openssf.org's Alpha-Omega Project. fosdem.org/2026/schedul...
- 🧭 Our 2025 Annual Report & 2026-2028 Strategy are now live! Together, they show how the Rust Foundation is entering 2026 in a position of financial & organizational strength—& how sustained support will help us continue to steward this incredible language.
