How will the Rust Foundation interact with the All Hands Event?

First off, I'd just like to say thanks for doing this Q&A. It's been very insightful!

I know the topic of Rust Conferences has been covered in #37 but I'd like to ask about the Rust All-Hands event specifically. The 2020 event ran into a number of obstacles especially around financing the event and finding a bank account to collect and distribute funds from. It seems like the Rust Foundation might be able to resolve one or both of those issues.

Is supporting this event in the scope of the Foundation's activities?

Yes! Events targeted at maintainers are definitely in scope, and we’d love to go beyond just a yearly All-Hands. One example from the past is Impl Days, and we’d enjoy running it again.
