Charlottesville Rust Meetup

• Meet, swap, and learn! Ring in the new year on January 8th with a virtual show-and-tell of your favorite Rust books, blogs, videos, and conferences from 2025. Share your favorites over chat or screen share and walk away with a refreshed reading list even the borrow checker couldn’t object to.

Agenda
• Presentation: Tock OS Part #2 - Rusty processes, memory limits, and basic capsules
We’re continuing this presentation series to test and improve a new, free, on-demand course about the open-source Tock operating system written in Rust.
This session focuses on how processes, memory limits, and basic capsules (LEDs and Buttons) are implemented in Rust, and observe how user-space apps interact with capsules. Also, we will run multiple apps on QEMU and using `tockloader` to manage them.
Each session pilots a section from the syllabus and includes a guided hands-on segment beta testing the class. Feedback during the meetup will shape the final course.

• Round the room—something to share?
The purpose of this meeting is to present a technical topic people can talk about and then provide an opportunity for people to share. The meeting is scheduled for an hour, but may end early.
