Joel and Gracie were among the Foundation's first hires over four years ago, with Joel building the engineering team and Gracie establishing communications processes and growing RustConf. Ernest, known for building the Rust London meetup, helped connect global Rust communities. The post thanks each for their contributions and confirms RustConf will continue, next scheduled in Vancouver in 2027. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
