The 2026-03-05 Steering Council meeting summary:
- We held Office Hours with Nicholas Matsakis to discuss the Developer-in-Residence (DiR) program and exchange experiences with similar initiatives in the Rust ecosystem. We discussed how the Steering Council relates to the DiR program, including technical direction and sponsorship renewals.
- We discussed possible improvements to the PEP process based on community feedback, including concerns about repetitive or exhausting discussions, uninformed comments, and the significant time investment required from PEP authors. We also explored ideas such as PEP mentorship, clearer scope guidance, smaller early-stage discussions, and limited polling to gauge sentiment.
