Rust Libz Blitz status update 2017-06-02
Here’s what is going on in libz blitz news this week. Spoiler alert: it was another great week! Thanks everybody.
Upcoming we’ll expect @aturon to open the error-chain evaluation soon. It also looks like we need to get someone on the hook to lead the mio evaluation to get that evaluation started by 6/11.
I’m also interested in getting some of the “out-of-band” evaluations going, crates like idna, net2, unicode-segmentation, env_logger. We can run these exactly as we do the others, but we just won’t schedule a libs team meeting to finalize them. Anybody interested in leading them just speak up. I may pick up one myself next week.
