Hey everyone, Rust is two years old! Lets celebrate!

If you have topics that you would like to nominate for discussion at the meetup, tweet each one at @pnkfelix with the #RustParis hash tag. Try to get your tweets in before or on Monday 15 May!

(Note that we are holding the meetup on a Tuesday evening this month.)

Mozilla and the Rust community invites everyone in the area of Paris to gather to celebrate the progress of the Rust programming language since its 1.0 release two years ago.

Rustaceans of all skill levels are welcome; even people who are just curious about the language can come.

We request that all participants please arrive before 7:00 pm. We will plan to start the meetup itself sometime shortly after 7:00 pm.

Pizza and Cake will be served!

Rust hackers: Want to present to the group?  If so, let Felix know ahead of time so he can schedule and announce the talks. Presentations can be short lightning talks (8 to 15 minutes in length), or long talks (30 to 45 minutes).

Meeting Format:

In general we use a variant of Open Spaces meeting format: We start with the lightning talks (if any). Then the participants collectively decides on a set of topic areas to investigate, and splits up into targeted group discussions on those topic areas.

 * We decide on the topics by voting: First everyone gets a chance to nominate a topic (by writing it on a post-it note; one topic per note).  Then everyone gets to vote for all of the topics that strike their interest.  Finally, the top four to six topics are announced and assigned to a meeting space.

 * Participants are welcome to move between topic groups as they like.

 * You do not have to be an expert in a topic to nominate it; you just have to be willing to lead the discussion (e.g. ask questions, do web searches, et cetera).
