Hi! I’m Jana (she/her). For the past years I taught embedded systems, in Rust, at the university of Delft. Now I work almost full-time on rustc in the compiler team as part of Hexcat, and co-organise Rust meetups and conferences. When I’m not doing that, I’m probably playing guitar or board games.

Rustdoc team leader, member of the Rust dev-tools and docs.rs teams, GNOME foundation member

Clippy team member

I started contributing to Rust around the 1.0 release, because attempting to replicate Ada's subtypes showed that const eval just wasn't up to it yet. In 2018 I became a compiler team member and has been maintaining parts of the Rust compiler ever since. For the last 3 years I've also been a moderation team member, navigating the various conflicts within and the constant spam from outside the Rust community. Since last Summer I've also been looking for sustainable funding for Rust maintainers.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer working at MZLA Technologies, the Mozilla subsidiary that looks after Thunderbird. From 2023 to 2025, I led the implementation of Microsoft Exchange support in Thunderbird, which also saw the addition of Rust to the project's code base. Outside of work I enjoy reading, cycling and running, and the occasional Lego build.

I started out with Rust 0.5, it was quite a different language!

Christoph is a professor of game programming at the University of Applied Sciences in Trier. His area of interest covers game programming in general, but more specifically, also serious games and modelling, and simulation. Before becoming a professor, he had a real job as a game programmer (credit: AquaNox, SplinterCell Essentials / Conviction, Army of Two 40th day.). In his spare time, he likes playing board games and cycling.

Bertrand Darbon is a Senior Rust Engineer at Hyli, a blockchain company specializing in compliant privacy.He cut his teeth on C++ starting in 2007 and started working on Rust in 2017, working on everything from machine learning and neural networks to image processing before diving into blockchain.Though Bertrand grew up in the mountains, his heart belongs to the sea: he lives in Lorient and captained a small flotilla of three 8-person sailboats in the North Sea during his last holidays. He also leads a choir on his spare time.
