Some reflections from @lorilorusso (Rust Foundation Director of Outreach) on what OpenAI's new membership and additional contribution mean for the maintainers and open source projects that make #rustlang what it is: https://rustfoundation.org/media/on-openais-support-for-rust/

[NEWS] OpenAI has joined the Rust Foundation as a Platinum Member and committed additional funding to programs and goals across the Rust ecosystem. Sustaining and strengthening a language like Rust requires this kind of support, and we are grateful to OpenAI for stepping up! 🎉

The software powering much of the world's critical infrastructure runs on human time and energy. The RFMF provides stable, long-term support to the maintainers who keep Rust evolving. Directing this support is a shared effort with the Rust Project's Funding Team.
