So let me start: I’m Max and I’m a software engineer and aspiring security researcher. I enjoy writing open-source software. I regularly contribute to various open-source projects. I’m also a passionate photographer. I started this project out of curiosity for vector maps and Rust. I'm looking forward to test the limits of the current Rust geo ecosystem! |

I'm Yuri, have been in the open source for quiet a few years now, first focusing on Wikipedia (I created Wikipedia API, maps, graphs, data pages, contributed to Wikidata, ...). I also co-found MapLibre, and now spend most of my time on cartography, MapLibre, OpenMapTiles, Planetiler, and other map-related technologies. Looking forward for MapLibre-rs to take over the world of mapping :) |

I'm Fabian, a recent software engineering graduate and computer graphics enthusiast (though not a pro at all!). In my day-to-day job I do R&D at a major hardware vendor and work mostly with C++. I'm still learning Rust and this is my first time contributing (more than translations and typos) to an open-source project and I'm very excited to get into it 😄 Maps are everywhere and having a truly cross-platform solution that is not proprietary is something very much needed imho. I'm excited to see where MapLibre-rs is headed 😄 |

I'm Antoine, I did a master's degree in computer Science and now I work in R&D at the University of Applied Sciences of Western Switzerland. I found a new interest in Geoinformatics when @bchapuis introduced me. I have worked on two projects since then.
I am still new to Rust and contributing to open source projects. But I'm extremely eager to learn as much as possible and help with maplibre-rs. |

I'm Soulaymane, currently finishing my last bachelor semester in computer science at the University of Applied Sciences of Western Switzerland. I'm a Rust enthusiast but did nothing apart from school project with it. That would be my first real contribution to an open source project. I'm also really interested in everything related to computer graphics, even though I'm still a beginner, so I hope I will be able to be of help. |

About me? German, a bit dyslexic and hectic, Science Fiction, Raumpatrouille, Robots, R&D+testing Industrial Automatisation, OSM. As Pokémon GO popped up, I got the idea to mimic it by rendering native OSM data. When WASM emerged, I was enthusiastic about it and even used it with CPP in OSM_go. The tools for OSM evolves evolutionary. The Crate concept of Rust seems a bit more cooperative. May be I could help. Do you have some simple stupide things to do? I am bad with tooling and may have questions: What IDE do you use, also for Debugging? |

maybe create a rust wrapper around maplibre-native, and figure out if we can use some of CPP code as a module for maplibre-rs (until we migrate it over)? I don't think it is very simple though :) Or maybe try to integrate maplibre-rs into maplibre/martin as a server-side rendering? Also not that simple, but definitely a lot of fun and needed :) |

That would definitely be possible! Performance wise, the architecture of headless rendering should be redone, but essentially it already works. |

CLion because of the great debugger support. VSCode just doesn't work for me that well as a whole.
haha I think you mean maplibre-rs! :D Welcome Karlos! The work you have done previously looks very cool. Also the tech-stack roughly seems to match that of maplibre-rs. Looking forward to hack on the codebase with you! Right now I'm using the time, in which not a lot of contributions are coming in, to refactor the project. My current goal is to add per-file and per-function documentation within the next 2 weeks. Right now there are still some basic challenges which need to be solved.

It's a completely new project with the aim of fitting the maplibre ecosystem. Im relatively sure we can get you a license once ypu contributed to the project. But a lot of devs use VSCode so that should be fine. There is a matrix chat: https://matrix.to/#/#maplibre:matrix.org |

I think we can ask intellij for a FOSS license for that. |

Naw, we are funded by commercial conpanies. So we are excluded from that program. |

Well, so is Wikipedia, but they still get IntellIJ licenses. |

Very cool! I'm very limited on the time I can invest in the project right now. But it will get more again! |

Hi, heard a lot about your platform at FOSS4G in Prizren! Great, that you're also interested in Rust. |

You want to engage in the development of maplibre-rs? You are unsure where and how to start?
Introduce yourself here and I'm sure we can help you to get started. Non-developers as well as developers wanted alike.
