@thephd ugh, that's disappointing.

may you find... better things to work on in the future? we're sorry.

@thephd sorry to read that. I think you made the right decision.

@thephd This is sad to see. I think your written post presented some really good ideas, plus it was well-received. Project leadership is overdue for some self-reflection (pun intended).

@thephd ooffff, I'm really sorry that happened - imo your decision to step away from speaking at RustConf is entirely justified.

@thephd even if they wanted to change their policy so that keynotes are only for topics approved by the Rust Project, it seems like the time frame to put that new policy into effect would be after the 2023 conference and before the call-for-papers for the 2024 conference.

@thephd what a strange interaction lol. Good on you for (respectfully) not putting up with it

@thephd Sad and very sorry to hear abou that

@thephd =[ Really sorry about all of this. Found the midterm report super interesting and am still looking forward to learning more.

@thephd this is *deeply* messed up behavior from the project leadship! what the fuck!

@thephd wtf!??!? what is going on with the rust foundation?!??!! dang I'm sorry they did that crap to you :bear_hugs:

@thephd sounds like a good call @dibi58

@thephd That is all very very weird. My sympathies.

@thephd I sincerely hope that there were no bad intentions involved and that it was just a serious case of miscommunication.
In any case, you deserve an explanation and probably an apology from the RustConf organizers.
At the same time, keep in mind that organizing an event like RustConf is a difficult and stressful task. Under stress, people make mistakes. Please try to give them some leeway and do not push them into a defensive position.

🔃
Wow, This seems like a strange way to act.
I thought Rust ppl were supposed to be the cool one, who got it together and didn't do crappy stuff like this to people.

@thephd I do love me (not) some drama at FOSS orgs. tired sigh

@thephd What a bizarre situation. Thanks for all the interesting writing, and I hope you get treated more reasonably in future.

@thephd meanwhile on birdsite …. https://twitter.com/jntrnr/status/1662229886386442242?s=46&t=2VwB4U3JzltOvexH7IbJEw

@thephd you absolutely deserve better than this. I'm so sorry to hear about this.

@thephd Am proud of you standing your ground! Good decision, even though it can be dissapointing to many. Of course, sorry to hear what happened.

@thephd ugh

@thephd damn. Why do all the good and mature languages seem to just reject reflection these days?

@thephd that's horrendous.
So sorry you had to go through this.

@thephd it’s bizarre how frequently I hear of organizational/political machinations with the Rust project that cast a shadow on it all. It’s too bad people don’t seem to know how to behave professionally.
