Leaders Meeting

Topics

  • Our meeting time
  • Opinion on the agenda topics
  • Pinged the t-compiler for an official calendar, and hackmd note team

Notes

  • High level strategy and goals
  • MCP had a 1 year reevaluation date
  • How to manage the working group? Where to publish notes?
    • mdbook website
    • track where people are working
  • Everyone likes the reading club
    • Especially previously history of Rust macros
  • How to do triage?
    • Asynchronous 24 hour meetings on Zulip
    • Eric likes the idea. Challenge will be tracking decisions. Zulip polls might help, and a two phase process to summarize discussion and ratify decisions.
  • Be notified about changes to macro system
    • Helps us learn
    • Figure out who's interested in what kind of work
    • auto-tag @wg-macros
  • Want to avoid the failure where no one knows we are working on macros
  • reason for triage: there are known issues already, make sure we understand them and can make a plan for the right way to resolve them
  • Team introduction threads on #wg-async
    • why interested in wg-async?
    • any relevant background or expertise?
  • Our meeting time - after wg-async triage, but flexible on times if break is needed
  • Might need to restructure triage/reading club meetings after a few weeks

Eric's goals and strategies:

  1. Earn the respect of the rest of the Rust Project
    • especially T-compiler
  2. Build expertise in the Rust macro system
    • understand the current state of the macro system
  3. (longer term) drive the implementation of Rust macros

More internally focused for the near term - build our own expertise before we start trying to drive things externally.
