Why start a conference series on Rust? 🦀

[@341Lab]

Great idea.

I really hope this happens! I've always wanted to visit NZ, and go to a Rust conference, and I'm totally onboard with merging the two!

That's an awesome idea. It has been way too long since my last NZ trip, and I have 12 months to come up with a talk.

[@timClicks]

Exciting! Where did you go in your last trip?

[@eyeseedata]

​@@timClicks Many work trips to the windy city, great coffee places.

Hi Tim, Trying to get a Rust on AWS Workshop written. Aimed at helping people of all levels get started writing rust and using the Rust sdk for AWS. No need to twist my arm to come to NZ and visit my sister as well.

Cool! Any idea on the ticket price yet?

[@timClicks]

I am hoping to keep the price near $400 + GST, which will be about half the price of equivalent conferences in USA and Europe for a similar (better?) quality level. It will mostly depend on whether I can secure an anchor sponsor or 7.

[@theoutsider01]

so it starts with Shed? Registered!

[@timClicks]

Shed 6, to be precise!
