About this Organization

The goal of this organization is to host and maintain all kinds of tools and libraries useful for operating system development in Rust. The organization's home page is https://rust-osdev.com, where This Month in Rust OSDev is published.

If you're interested in Rust and OS development, please join us on Zulip!

Note that we are not an official Rust organization.

Projects

Currently we are hosting the following projects:

• acpi: Rust library for parsing ACPI tables and AML.
• ansi_rgb: Colorful console text using ANSI escape sequences.
