	    <p>After a long hiatus, we are starting up again with Rust hack nights.
        Our first meeting of 2018 will feature a presentation titled <b>Rust and
            Fuzz Testing</b>, delivered by the good folks at  <a
            href="https://seasoned.software"
            target="_blank">Seasoned.Software</a>:</p>

        <p><blockquote style="font-style: italic">At <a href="https://seasoned.software"
            target="_blank">Seasoned.Software</a> we build a CI platform that
        uses fuzz testing to improve the quality of your software projects. We
        love Rust and we use it for most of our platform, and we support Rust
        projects as first class citizens. We will give a brief presentation on
        how Rust helped us build our platform, which problems we have
        encountered so far, and how we solved them. Afterwards we will explain
        why you should fuzz test your own projects and show how to set up fuzz
        testing for your own Rust projects.</blockquote></p>

        <p>The presentation is expected to start around 19:00, but you are
        welcome to get in early from 18:00.</p>

	    <p><strong>UPDATE</strong> An enjoyable evening working on
	      individual projects. Among other
	      things, <a href="https://github.com/laumann">laumann</a>
	      added command-line arguments
	      to <a href="https://github.com/laumann/redshift-rs">redshift-rs</a>,
	      a <a href="http://jonls.dk/redshift/">Redshift</a>
	      clone (using <a href="https://crates.io/crates/docopt">docopt</a>).</p>

	    <p>We discussed implementing custom iterators
	      for parsing emojis in text, and how to use
	      the <code>?</code> operator that was stabilized
	    in <a href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2016/11/10/Rust-1.13.html">Rust 1.13</a>.
