Meeting Notes
DEMO: A tour through the wasmcloud-component crate
- As always, it's difficult to express the goodness of this demo and so please check out the recording below.
 - At wasmCloud Innovation Day, Lucas gave some examples of the component SDK for Go. We've been working on a lightweight version for Rust.
 - This is newly published on crates.io and it's ready for you to import into a component project.
 - Top-level macros - to proxy to wasi-logging for standard logging levels - debug error info etc. Use like you would idiomatic Rust.
 - Additional structs and implementations for standard library crates and a couple of helper options: wasi-io, including pollable requests - useful for making mini http requests.
 - Corresponds to how wit-bindgen generates types. The goal is you will be able to bring in the wasmCloud component crate and use that in a component application. Nicer experience working in Rust.
 - wit-bindgen interface generation at crate level. Pattern emerging with WebAssembly crates in Rust.
 - Again, check out the recording for Brooks's full demo.
 
DISCUSSION: How to become a contributor to wasmCloud
- If you're wondering how to become a contributor, we recommend you visit the wasmCloud repo and take a look at the good first issues available for contribution.
 - There are a ton of ways to get involved, regardless of the language you prefer to work in.
 - wasmCloud-contrib is also a wonderful place to see how others in the community are contributing to the wasmCloud project.
 
DISCUSSION: Q4 roadmap
- A quick note to let everyone know we are coming up to the end of the quarter and we'll begin to plan for Q4 in the next fortnight.
 - Check in on where we are with the current roadmap here.
 - wasmCloud is a 100% community-led project and so your role in setting the path forward is crucial. Join the wasmCloud Weekly Community meeting every Wednesday to have your say!
