Rust Project Reveals New 'Constitution' in Wake of Crisis (thenewstack.io)

The Rust project has published its plans for a new governance model, following a 2021 crisis that led to the mod team's resignation.

The document has to be ratified by about 20 team leads and the former core team, who will be voluntarily stepping down in favor of the new leadership the governance document creates. “That’s one of the things that led to the governance crisis.” “It used to be that the core team was the team leads only, so the team leads would report up into the core team. And all of it was important, but at the same time it was too much work for any one team.” “We all came together and said, ‘Let’s make something that can be more flexible, that works a bit better long term,” they told The New Stack. It creates a new top-level council, this time formed of members from each of the other teams. Since last August, the Rust project has been working on a new governance model. “As a result of that, there was widespread agreement within the project that we needed to create a better formal governance structure that removed some of those ambiguities and conflicts, and had mechanisms for dealing with this without ever having a similar crisis,” Triplett told The New Stack. “But at the end of the day, they were drowning under the minutia, because they were the team of miscellaneous. Two years ago, the project had a very public blowup after its entire mod team resigned and [publicly posted a scathing account of the core team](https://github.com/rust-lang/team/pull/671.), which the mod team called “unaccountable to anyone but themselves.” It even suggested the core team was not to be trusted, although the team later recanted and apologized for that. Around 2016 or 2017, a request for comment came out that established the Rust project’s governance, Triplett said.

Roundup: ABC industrial action, Chris Smith, The Project apologises (Mediaweek)

ABC journalists will walk off the job for 40 minutes next Tuesday – the first protected industrial action in 17 years.

The strike caused a disruption to TV and radio services. However, the episode that was shown appeared to be one continuous game. The press regulator, Ipso, received more than 25,000 complaints, and earlier this month launched an investigation. “What we bought delivers the value,” she said. This would force those platforms to negotiate a payment with publishers. Obviously, I understand how profound that offence was.” The document, dated May 12, was prepared by Nine lawyers but only released by the government this week. The next series of the television quizshow, Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? Her comments, made in an interview given to Variety, come two months after Clarkson was forced to apologise over an article in the Sun in which he said he was dreaming of the day the Duchess of Sussex was made to parade naked in public while people threw excrement at her. “It’s a strategic decision.” “Nine is concerned that without designation or a clear statement of expectation from the government in relation to services and platforms that should be designated, Google and Facebook will not be as willing to enter into genuine negotiations with Nine and other Australian media businesses in the future,” the submission reads. However, copying the text to another document removed the redactions.

A gravity anomaly appeared to post-date a series of late-stage Proterozoic dykes visible in the magnetic data, suggesting that the anomaly is a late-stage intrusive body and interpreted to represent a bedrock REE target. Modelling of the main area of interest showed significant magnetic alteration and disruption along with a relative density low believed to be not consistent with the granite signature to the east and west. Data highlighted a greenstone belt with a series of granite bodies to the east and west of the main target area, consistent with geological mapping and regional aerial magnetic interpretation of the area.
