That's partially up to you! Here's how it works: + +* Anyone and everyone in the Rust community writes a blog post about what they'd like Rust development to be like in 2020. +* The core team reads all the posts, and writes up a "Roadmap RFC" to make a formal proposal. +* The RFC is reviewed by everyone, comments are made, adjustments are made, and eventually it is accepted. +* This RFC is a guide to either accept or postpone RFCs for 2020. If a proposal fits into the themes of what we want to accomplish, we'll take it, but if it doesn't, we'll put it off until the next year. + +This process takes time, and it won't *quite* be complete before 2020 starts. + +* We'll review the posts December 1. That gives you a month to think about Rust in 2020 and write something up. +* We'll aim to produce the RFC draft in the week or two after +* Depending on how many comments the RFC gets, we may not end up accepting it until early January. + +## What we're looking for + +We are accepting ideas about almost anything having to do with Rust: language features, tooling needs, community programs, ecosystem needs... if it's related to Rust, we want to hear about it. + +One big question for this year: will there be a Rust 2021 edition? If so, 2020 would be the year to do a lot of associated work and plan the details. What would the edition's theme be? + +Rust 2015: Stability +Rust 2018: Productivity +Rust 2021: ? + +Let us know what you think! + +## Please share these posts with us + +You can write up these posts and email them to community@rust-lang.org or tweet them with the hashtag #rust2020. If you'd prefer to not participate publicly, emailing something to community@rust-lang.org is fine as well. + +Thanks for helping make Rust awesome! We are looking forward to doing amazing things in 2020.
