What do the core team members do? I mean in more detail than:
"Managing the overall direction of Rust, sub-team leadership, and any cross-cutting issues"
...as found at: https://www.rust-lang.org/governance/teams/core https://www.rust-lang.org/governance/teams/core
Do they have regular meetings? If so, are there notes/minutes/video published from these meetings? Is there a list of edicts that the core team has decided on? Is the core team a voluntary or paid position? Who decides the core team membership? Who decides how many core team members there should be? Does the core team make tactical decisions (like Rust 1.7 shall have support for architecture X)? Is there a document from the core team outlining the current "overall direction of Rust"? Do they control what appears on the rust-lang.org domain? Do they control any funding that might be distributed to the other teams? Is there a potential better name for the core team? Executive team? Strategy team? Many people seem to believe that the core team members are working on rustc, but I don't think that is accurate.
- capableweb 5y agoYou can implicitly figure out what the core team does by going to https://www.rust-lang.org/governance https://www.rust-lang.org/governance and seeing what team does what. Otherwise, a good way to understand how Rust governance is happening is by reading the various RFCs, I think this one is the most relevant one for you: https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/1068-rust-governance.html https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/1068-rust-governance.html, specifically the "Core team" section: https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/1068-rust-governance.html#core-team https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/1068-rust-governance.html#c...
- floxy 5y agoThanks, that is interesting. Does anyone know where the charters for the teams are located? This is called out in 2021-Roadmap: https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/3037-roadmap-2021.html https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/3037-roadmap-2021.html ...I'm not seeing the 2022 Roadmap, is that still in the works?
- mjw1007 5y agoThey certainly used to have regular meetings. https://www.youtube.com/c/RustVideos/search?query=core%20team%202020 https://www.youtube.com/c/RustVideos/search?query=core%20tea... shows meetings up to 2020-09, though I don't see any since. (That's about the time of the big Mozilla layoffs, so maybe the person who used to upload the videos moved on then.)
