Talk Synopses
Diogo Sousa - The Rust Borrow Checker

Rust takes a unique approach on how it controls mutability and aliasing. It statically keeps track of how values and their references are used. This not only offers strong guarantees to developers (e.g. "I know for sure that no one can change this data structure behind my back"), but it also allows a few other awesome things such as memory safety, automatic memory management without GC, and data race freedom.

Jonathan Pallant - RemoteProcs in Rust

Jonathan Pallant, Embedded Systems Engineer at Cambridge Consultants, talks us
through using Rust on the BeagleBoard X15 - on both the Cortex-A running Linux
and the Cortex-M running bare-metal, and how to get the two to talk to each
other through sockets and shared-memory ring buffers.

Hi,

This is the description of my talk (The Rust Borrow Checker):

Thanks @orium, added it to the Meetup posting.

In the "Upcoming Events" of this week's "This week in Rust" there is no mention of this meetup.

At the end of that section it says that there is a calendar that people can add rust events. We should start doing that. Maybe we can add it as a task in the issue template.

What do you think @booyaa?

[orium]

Are the talks going to be available online?
