The 2025H2 goals will run from September through December instead of our usual schedule. We plan to get back on track with the regular schedule for 2026H1.

People felt that drafting goals helped clarify plans, get feedback from the Rust project, and find sponsorship. So, good news: project goals work! + +The survey also highlighted areas where we can do better. People want more concrete goals instead of abstract themes, better collaborative priority-setting, and a more sustainable organization that doesn't depend too heavily on any single person. The changes we mentioned in how the program runs are meant to address this feedback. + +## How to Get Involved + +Ready to propose a goal? [Follow the proposal guide](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-project-goals/how_to/propose_a_goal.html) and open a PR on the rust-lang/rust-project-goals repository. You can also browse the [current proposals](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-project-goals/2025h2/index.html) to see what others are working on. + +The Rust project goals program gives you a structured way to drive meaningful improvements to Rust with community support and visibility. Whether you're looking to stabilize a language feature, improve tooling, or refactor the compiler, we want to hear your ideas. + +**Remember: goal submissions close on July 18th.** Don't wait—start working on your proposal today!
