@jamesmunns and I talked about adding my project to the newsletter, but I forgot to actually send a link :). And here's a summary: AT2XT is open-source hardware that interfaces cheap PS/2 (aka AT) protocol keyboards to vintage IBM PC-class computers expecting an older keyboard protocol (XT). Protocol translation is done using firmware written in Rust using the msp430 backend. The firmware also uses an earlier version of @japaric's RTFM framework. The firmware is feature-complete; as the Rust compiler evolves, I intend to testing and deploying newly-compiled firmware to ensure AT2XT still works properly. Therefore, AT2XT may also serve as an up-to-date example of how to deploy a Rust application for msp430 family of microcontrollers. |

| * The [Embedded WG] IRC meetings are now explicitly public, and the agendas for the next meeting can be found in the [WG Issues], like [this issue] for the next meeting | ||
| * [David] shared his utility [`Form`], which takes a single `lib.rs` (like those created by `svd2rust` or `bindgen`), and splits it into structured modules. Check out the [`nrf52`] Chip Support Crate as an example, and try it out for your generated projects! | ||
| * [astro] shared their crate [`managed`], A library that provides a way to logically own objects, whether or not heap allocation is available |

I don't think @astro is the author of managed, only a contributor. See https://github.com/m-labs/rust-managed
