## Community

In 2018 Rust community has created an embedded workgroup to help drive adoption in the Rust ecosystem.

- [Embedded WG](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/embedded-wg/), including newsletters with progress updates.

- You can usually find the members of the embedded WG on the `#rust-embedded` channel (server: `irc.mozilla.org`).

- [embedded.rs](https://t.me/embedded_rs) Telegram chat about Rust for microcontrollers in Russian language.
