🦀 Rust-Edu is back and looking for contributors!
The initiative focused on bringing #rustlang into academic and university settings is relaunching, co-led by Mordecai Etukudo of Rust Africa and Bart Massey.
They're forming an Organizing Committee and want educators, developers, students, and community builders to get involved.
Learn more about how to get involved in this important mission in our recent cross-post: https://rustfoundation.org/media/guest-post-announcing-the-2026-rust-edu-refresh-and-cfp/
The Rust Foundation is proud to join the Sustaining Package Registries Working Group as a founding member. As open source consumption approaches 10 trillion downloads annually, the gap between what registries like crates.io demand and the resources to sustain them has become a supply chain risk. It's time to treat registry sustainability as a shared responsibility.
Find out what was covered during the Rust Foundation's March 2026 board meeting directly from two of our Project Directors: David Wood and Carol Nichols:

When a coordinated phishing attack hit open source package registries, the Rust Foundation was ready. Thanks to the Alpha-Omega Project's support, we had a dedicated security team, shared intelligence channels, and direct escalation paths to GitHub.
Lori Lorusso told the full story at Open Source #SecurityCon Europe and now there's a case study to go with it! 🔒

What is the Rust Innovation Lab — and what comes next for it?
The RIL is where the Rust Foundation hosts Rust projects that fill gaps for developers or showcase what the language can do. We provide things like structure, security best practices, marketing support, ecosystem connections, and more.
Our inaugural project rustls is live. Now we’re thinking about what’s next:
