Thanks to an early and generous contribution from FutureWei, the initiative was able to take its first steps toward that vision. + +Since then, Rust-Edu has supported the development of educational content and curricula, collaborated with educators and communities, and helped spread awareness of Rust within academic circles. Along the way, we’ve also contributed directly to teaching and learning efforts within the ecosystem. + +However, like many grassroots initiatives, sustaining momentum hasn’t been easy. Building and maintaining a consistent, long-term team has proven challenging especially as a largely solo effort. But things are changing. + +Recently, I’ve been working closely with **Mordecai Etukudo of Rust Africa**, whose energy, organizational experience, and commitment to community growth have brought new life to our efforts. Together, we’re focused on rebuilding Rust-Edu into a more structured, collaborative, and impactful initiative. + +## Where You Come In + +This next phase of Rust-Edu is not something we want to build alone we want to build it with you. + +We’re looking for individuals who are passionate about Rust education, particularly in academic environments, and who are excited to contribute their time, ideas, and experience. Whether you're an educator, developer, student, or community builder, there’s a place for you here. + +In addition, we are forming a **Rust-Edu Organizing Committee** a group of committed contributors who will help guide and lead our upcoming initiatives. This will involve regular collaboration, planning, and execution of programs that push Rust education forward. + +If this sounds like something you do like to be part of, we invite you to complete the form linked below. + +Fill it out, and we’ll be in touch soon. + +👉 [Apply here](https://forms.gle/2TXRRBhTLm6HCJVq8) + +## Looking Ahead + +We’re optimistic about what lies ahead. + +With the right people, shared vision, and consistent effort, we believe Rust-Edu can play a meaningful role in shaping how Rust is taught and adopted in universities around the world. + +Hopefully, to building something impactful together join our [**zulip channel**](https://rust-edu.zulip.cs.pdx.edu/#narrow/channel/576-Rust-Edu-CFP/topic/channel.20events/with/87780) to stay in touch. \ No newline at end of file From 763acbc17b9a4b86755523437354ecc7d2b9d027 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: martcpp Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 10:28:41 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 3/5] error:fix the zola config to support new update --- config.toml | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/config.toml b/config.toml index 9bb2e93..c2370c1 100644 --- a/config.toml +++ b/config.toml @@ -11,8 +11,10 @@ compile_sass = true highlight_code = true # Whether to build a search index to be used later on by a JavaScript library +[search] build_search_index = true + title = "Rust Edu" description = "" From 364eda694beec767b7da82b5ddf540230087de3a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: martcpp Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 10:32:35 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 4/5] error:fix the zola config to support new update --- config.toml | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/config.toml b/config.toml index c2370c1..876e7e0 100644 --- a/config.toml +++ b/config.toml @@ -8,7 +8,9 @@ compile_sass = true # Whether to do syntax highlighting # Theme can be customised by setting the `highlight_theme` variable to a theme supported by Zola [markdown] - highlight_code = true +highlighting = true +render_emoji = true +smart_punctuation = true # Whether to build a search index to be used later on by a JavaScript library [search] From 1e7a7f5213a148b4955bb59aea10eca7d474b088 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: martcpp Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 11:42:13 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 5/5] error:fix issue due to zola old version --- config.toml | 11 +++++++++-- content/news/call_for_participation.md | 5 ++--- 2 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/config.toml b/config.toml index 876e7e0..611d37b 100644 --- a/config.toml +++ b/config.toml @@ -7,15 +7,22 @@ compile_sass = true # Whether to do syntax highlighting # Theme can be customised by setting the `highlight_theme` variable to a theme supported by Zola - [markdown] -highlighting = true +[markdown] render_emoji = true smart_punctuation = true +# [markdown.highlighting] + + + # Whether to build a search index to be used later on by a JavaScript library [search] build_search_index = true +[link_checker] +internal_level = "error" +external_level = "warn" + title = "Rust Edu" description = "" diff --git a/content/news/call_for_participation.md b/content/news/call_for_participation.md index 8aafb4f..c7d3e70 100644 --- a/content/news/call_for_participation.md +++ b/content/news/call_for_participation.md @@ -29,9 +29,7 @@ In addition, we are forming a **Rust-Edu Organizing Committee** a group of commi If this sounds like something you do like to be part of, we invite you to complete the form linked below. -Fill it out, and we’ll be in touch soon. - -👉 [Apply here](https://forms.gle/2TXRRBhTLm6HCJVq8) +Fill it out, and we’ll be in touch soon.👉 [Apply here](https://forms.gle/2TXRRBhTLm6HCJVq8) ## Looking Ahead @@ -39,4 +37,5 @@ We’re optimistic about what lies ahead.
