+author: Felix Klock
+description: "The compiler team's March steering cycle"
+team: The Compiler Team <https://www.rust-lang.org/governance/teams/compiler>
+---
+On [Friday, March 12th][mar-12-zulip-archive], the Rust Compiler team had a planning meeting for the March steering cycle.
+
+[mar-12-zulip-archive]: https://zulip-archive.rust-lang.org/238009tcompilermeetings/07070planningmeeting20210312.html
+
+(The cycle here is that every fourth Friday, the Rust compiler team decides how
+it is going to use its scheduled steering and design meeting time over the next
+three Fridays.)
+
+It wasn't until the end of the meeting that we realized that April 2nd is a holiday for many folks.
+But luckily we decided to schedule just two meetings anyway.
+
+On Friday, 19 March 2021, we will be having a [retrospective][] on the memshrink
+development sprint that we had over the first week of March.
+
+[retrospective]: https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/412
+
+On Friday, 26 March 2021, we will be having a meeting to [discuss][musl-discussion] the static vs
+dynamic linking defaults for our musl libc target.
+
+[musl-discussion]: https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/416
+
+Both meetings will run from 2pm to 3pm GMT, and will take place on the
+[T-compiler/meetings zulip stream][zulip].
