"Rust Foundation is launching an initiative to strengthen the future of the Rust programming language. It is called the Rust Foundation Maintainers Fund. This fund is intended to provide structural support to developers who are responsible for the maintenance and further development of Rust. In doing so, the organization aims to respond to the increasing pressure that many open-source projects are facing."
"The initiative is being set up in collaboration with the Rust Project Leadership Council and the Project Directors. In the coming months, the Foundation will work on further details of the fund, including its structure, funding sources, and selection criteria. The aim is to ensure open decision-making and transparency about the use of funds. According to chair Nell Shamrell-Harrington, an open-source project like Rust cannot continue to function without structural support for the people who keep it running."
