[Pkg-rust-maintainers] IRC room

[Willem van den Akker]

Hi,

after some trying and asking around in the Debian-mentors IRC room, I
still cannt succeed to join the debian-rust room. There were more users in the mentors room with problems to connect tot de debian-rust room.

How can I proceed? Is there a channel admin to contact to?
