Attendees: Josh Triplett, Jon Bauman, Santiago, Jubilee, Nadri, Tim M, TC

## Agenda

- How are interviews going?
- Feedback on interview protocol? (Questions, procedures, technological hurdles...)

Tim: I'd like to use `cal.com` -- I service I've paid for -- for scheduling the interviews. It'll help us round-robin this, and will send out the invites.

## Script that Tim's been using

## What were your motivations for participating in the Rust Vision Doc process

## Do you remember what attracted you to Rust?

## Is there anything that you would like to ensure is covered in this discussion? 

## Do you find Rust easy to advocate for?

## Do you find yourself apologising for Rust's deficiencies?

## Are there areas where you find rust compelling?

## Any areas where you find Rust lacking?

## A future Rust might be very different in the future, or it might be very differnt. How do you think that the project should weight stability vs novelty/exploration?

## Rust was first annouced as a "systems programming" language, then the project changed  the language to recognise its broader appeal.  Should the Rust project specialise for a particular set of domains?

# Other points raised

# Post-interview checklist

- [ ] Does anything need to be redacted?
- [ ] Copy of recording/transcript sent to interviewee?
- [ ] Would you like to have the recording stored as a historic record? The default is to delete it.
- [ ] Reference team GitHub and Zulip for follow-up

## is the script good?
- should we be adding some more reassurances?
- should we drop the 1-to-5 question?
- should we do questions in a different order?

## are we interviewing the right people?
- do we need minimum coverage of certain groups/domains?

## rustweek?
- rough cut?
- stats at least? jack has a Jupyter Notebook...
