Canonical has joined the Rust Foundation as a Gold Member, committing $150,000 per year to support the Rust programming language ecosystem. This formalizes Canonical's existing investment in Rust, which already includes replacing sudo with sudo-rs and GNU Coreutils with uutils in Ubuntu. The membership gives Canonical a seat on the Rust Foundation's Board of Directors and a stated goal of improving the Rust developer experience on Ubuntu, including better toolchain support and more up-to-date packages in Ubuntu repositories.
