Engaging Developers. I built relationships with Rust developers in Europe and China. I advocated Nervos blockchain architecture to other Rust devs, and encouraged them to build on Nervos. I organized and participated in dev conferences, such as RustCon Asia, RustFest Rome & RustFest Barcelona, RubyChina, etc. I started Rust in Blockchain meetups and workshops in San Francisco, Berlin, and Hangzhou, China.
The latest dev conference is RustCon Asia 2019. I wrote blog posts, Why Rust and A Close Encounter with Rust Community, about it.
