GSoC'23 Week 12 - Conclusion
12 weeks have passed and this is my concluding blog post on GSoC project: Implement calendar availability.
Through the past 3 months, most of the pieces for the feature were implemented and published on MRs. There’s some loose ends to tie up and then we’ll be good to go :)
Project introduction
Our goal was to implement calendar availabilty. Through this, users should be able to update their availability via the Merkuro (formerly Kalendar) application. Once updated, if someone wants to invite this person for an event, the free/busy lookup done would take into consideration the above new information. This would help suggest better intelligent times to schedule events.

Hubert Figuière: libopenraw Rust with C API
As I previously talked about, I started porting libopenraw to Rust. It is now in a state where it has more feature than the original.
When I started writing this post, I didn't have 100% of the code Rust, but since I have removed the last bit of C++, for which I had cut corners to make sure to have a functional API for C.
The only C++ code left is the various utilities and the C++ test suite to validate.
The goal
The goal of the Rust rewrite is to have the digital camera raw parsing library written in Rust instead of C++, while still being available with a C API.
