Hi @aep, you mentioned at the last Rust Hack and Learn that you'd like to give a talk on what your startup has been building with Rust. Thank you!

Looking at @therealpadams schedule from #54 (comment), I think I'd prefer doing the meetup during the week of the 16th of October. Is there any day during that week that suits you extremely well or not at all?

[aep]

@johannhof hi, can talk about superscale.io and my new thing korhal.io
my schedule looks similar. 16th i'm not available. 9-15 evenings are all free.

[johannhof]

Ok, about a month to go! Let's get settled on a date.

@johannhof hi, can talk about superscale.io and my new thing korhal.io
my schedule looks similar. 16th i'm not available. 9-15 evenings are all free.

Did you mean you're not available on the 16th or during the entire week of the 16th? If you're generally available during that week, I'd like to propose Wednesday, the 18th of October. Otherwise let's do it at Wednesday, October 11.

[johannhof]

Another thing: We have the capabilities to live-stream and/or record the event. Would both of you be okay with that?

[aep]

@johannhof wed 18.10 is fine with me! 11 would work as well.
Yes please do recording/streaming. :)

[johannhof]

Alright, 18th it is, I'll create the meetup entry then!

@aep and @therealpadams: I would need a short speaker bio and a short talk summary from both of you, ideally within the next 2 weeks, since that's when we'll start the announcements.

Thanks!

[aep]

@johannhof will do today, sorry. there's some issue with github notifications. i don't get any for the mentions here. maybe same for @therealpadams .

[aep]

@johannhof here we go:

Arvid is a controversial break-the-whole-box-thinker getting hired to put Linux on stuff where Linux would prefer to not be with deadlines you’d prefer to not have. He’s currently CTO of superscale networks and Founder of korhal.io, an organization dedicated to liberating IoT and preventing consumer lock-in.

Application container deployment for the internet of Things with rust

Solving containerization on very constrained devices will enable a new way we deliver system updates to embedded systems. We’ll learn about one possible approach with korhal’s bolter and how it ties into the interplanetary hash router to deliver content addressable system updates to microcontrollers anywhere, without a cloud.

[johannhof]

I pinged @therealpadams on Twitter, we'll just announce the event without a description today otherwise :)

[baggerspion]

You did? No signal on my end... might have poked the wrong Paul Adams :) Did you poke @therealpadams?

Sorry for the radio silence on this, it has slipped my radar. Because of work reasons I cannot guarantee that I will be free on the 18th. Really sorry to be a pain. I should be able to find you a good on-topic speaker from inside Zalando, if that is helpful.

Still happy to talk about Habitat sometime.

[johannhof]

@therealpadams ok! I reached out to one of our November speakers to check if they are available to give their talk one month earlier. Let's wait a day or two and see what comes out of that. I'll announce the meetup on Monday in any case, and we'll just improvise.

I should be able to find you a good on-topic speaker from inside Zalando, if that is helpful.

That is of course appreciated in any case, also for future meetups. 😄

[aep]

@michaelwoerister 's talk would be an amazing fit for mine (very low level into rust internals). if he could do it.

[johannhof]

Ok, @regexident agreed to jump in, thank you very much! I'll announce the meetup today, please send me a short bio and talk description whenever you have time!

@therealpadams thanks for letting us know, I'll ping you in the planning issue for November, so that we might find a replacement or suitable date for you :)
