Open Code Review: Trust Fosters Responsibility

Open Code Review: Trust Fosters Responsibility by Alice Cecile. Code review is a task for trusted experts: carefully controlling quality, passing on wisdom and enforcing a coherent project vision. Right? Not in the Bevy community! Here, review is for everyone: distributing responsibility, nurturing growth and pulling users into the open source process by asking them for feedback before features ever ship. This talk will cover the why and how of open code review, including pitfalls to watch out for, and hopes to convince you that you can and should adopt this practice in your own projects. About Alice Cecile (she/her): Ecologist, designer, project manager, programmer: she just can't stop multiclassing. Alice works to keep the Bevy project on track, building an open source Rust game engine with hundreds of contributors. - git: https://github.com/alice-i-cecile/ - bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/alice-i-cecile.bsky.social - mastodon/fedi: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@alice_i_cecile This talk was given at RustWeek 2026 as part of the Main track on Wednesday 20 May.
