After the Rust.Tokyo 2021
At first
Thank you to all the participants in the Rust.Tokyo 2021.
I hope you enjoyed it.
I’m delighted if this has given you a chance to like Rust even a little bit.
About the Rust.Tokyo 2021
The Rust.Tokyo has started as the biggest Rust event in Japan, 2019.
This was the second time this year. (2020 has been postponed)
There are two significant purposes:
- Enjoy Rust.
- Get to like Rust more.
And this year, 2021, we held our first online event.
My ¨look back¨
From here, I would like to review this event in my way.
About Subtitles
This time, we, the Tokyo team, took on a challenge.
The challenge was to prepare subtitles for most of the talks.
I want to reduce the number of people who cannot enjoy the event because of the language barrier.
From the comments on Twitter and YouTube, I feel that we will overcome this challenge successfully.
There are some cons to this…
The cons are that the subtitles may lose some of the presentation’s content since there’s always a few words lost in translation.
I understand that this is an unavoidable aspect of text-based communication.
However, we think there is room for improvement; for example, the management could supplement the presentation in real-time.
If you have any good ideas, I would love to hear your feedback.
About pre-recording
For the first time, we used pre-recorded video files.
As I mentioned earlier, the apparent advantage was that we were able to add subtitles.
On the other hand, there was a big problem: the sound volume of the presentations was uneven.
I think there could have been a solution, such as normalizing the volume of all presentations. This is something I would like to work on in the future.
About my English Skills
I have always felt that my English skills were not up to par, so I started studying English in earnest in 2020/02.
However, so far, I have not been able to communicate smoothly.
I’m struggling to think of English sentences one by one. (just now!!)
English ability is an area that I would like to continue working on to make Japan’s Rust community more exciting.
The future of the Rust.Tokyo
I hope to continue to hold events next year and beyond.
Our current goal is to have an in-person event this time around.
However, I know that many people find it easier to participate in events online.
I would like to think about how to make the event better by considering these factors.
Lastly

To the Tokyo Team
To tkat0-san
Thank you so much for all your hard work in managing my first event.
“I want to help with the event!” I was pleased to hear that.
I’m sure I’ve given you a lot of trouble, but I’d be delighted if you could run the event with me again.
To Mitsukado-san
Thank you very much for your cooperation with this event.
Without you, I don’t think we would have been able to complete that beautiful logo.
And the StreamYard assets were also very nice.
Honestly, I think it was a strict schedule, but you gave us the best performance, and I appreciate it.
To Yuki-san
Thank you very much for your continued support since the last event.
Once again, you have shown outstanding leadership in the design of Rust.
Tokyo 2019. I think the design of this year was even better than last year.Also, thank you very much for your help publicizing the event via Twitter and reviewing my English.
Thank you very much.
To Chiko-san
Thank you for your continued cooperation since the last event.
I can honestly say that there would have been many challenges that we could not have overcome without you.
I can’t thank you enough for all the hard work you put in.
Thank you very much.
That’s it for this ¨look back¨.
Thank you again to everyone who was involved in this event.
