| 5 | +--- |

| 7 | +I'm pleased to announce that Yehuda Katz and Steve Klabnik are joining |
| 8 | +the [Rust core team]. Both of them are not only active and engaged |
| 9 | +members of the Rust community, but they also bring a variety of skills |
| 10 | +and experience with them. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +Yehuda Katz will be known to many in the Rust community for his work |
| 13 | +on the initial design and implementation of the Cargo project. He is |
| 14 | +also a co-founder of [Tilde], which has been using Rust commercially |
| 15 | +in their [Skylight] product for quite some time. Finally, he has been |
| 16 | +heavily involved with the Ruby ecosystem (through such projects as |
| 17 | +[Ruby on Rails] and [Bundler]) and with JavaScript as well (through |
| 18 | +the [Ember.js] and [jQuery] frameworks and the |
| 19 | +[TC39 language committee]). |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +Steve Klabnik is of course the primary author of the [Rust guide] as |
| 22 | +well as much of Rust's documentation (not to mention independent works |
| 23 | +like [Rust for Rubyists]). He is passionate about improving the |
| 24 | +learnability of Rust and ensuring that the onboarding experience is |
| 25 | +smooth. Finally, Steve is an enthusiastic and tireless |
| 26 | +communicator. Wherever there is discussion about Rust to be found, be |
| 27 | +it IRC, the [RFCs repo], or [Reddit]/[HackerNews], you can be sure to |
| 28 | +find a comment or two from Steve there, explaining and clarifying the |
| 29 | +situation. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +Thanks Yehuda and Steve for all your hard work, and welcome to the core team! |
