I'm not too bright, so apologies in advance. What is this? And why do people need to care?

You made a new Github organization to ... do what? Are you launching a new CloudNative project in Rust? It's an umbrella group with a cute logo and it doesn't do or own anything? But there's a launch? My head is exploding.

View on HN

The page seems pretty clear about the goals. Based on the https://github.com/rust-embedded group (which appears to curate/incubate some repos on that theme), there's a new group focused on using rust in the cloud.

I understand they're attempting to emulate rust-embedded. Perhaps launch this when you have a repo with code to share? People care about rust-embedded because of the quality of the projects under the umbrella. Would anyone care if rust-embedded had only a vague wiki page and nothing else to offer?

How will people know there's a place to share the code if there's no repo launched?

I don't know, but assume it's usually "hey Alice, hey Bob, I made Charliecracker, you made FlannAlice and Bobernetes, we're working on similar things, let's form a club".

These are fair points. I've addressed them in comments within the main thread.

We (me, at the moment) am making changes to the original post and the repositories themselves, to clarify intent here.

TLDR: there was a bit of a "the chicken and the egg" problem with cloud native Rust. My approach might not have resulted in the cleanest "launch", but with few volunteer hours and nothing similar in existence, I wanted to at least provide a sandbox or canvas for issue/discussion filers to help dictate where it goes next.

looks like some people just trying to capitalize on rust.

there's nothing here.
