Hello!
I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with you over the summer on our project. I would greatly appreciate your feedback on the aspects I handled well and areas where I could improve. Additionally, a recommendation letter from you, either as a pdf file or on LinkedIn, would be incredibly valuable for my burgeoning career in computer science. Your insights have always been enlightening, and I'm eager to continue learning from you. I also hope to remain involved with Freetype and look forward to future collaborations with or without GSoC :)

Folks,
GSoC 2023 is over; a few days ago the last project has finished – all
FreeType students have passed :-)
We had three projects:
* Ahmet's code to improve 'ftbench' so that it can emit benchmarking
test reports:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/tree/gsoc-2023-ahmet-final
* Anurag's code to port 'font-rs', an alternative rendering engine, to
FreeType and compare it to the built-in rasterizer; and to convert
some parts of FreeType's documentation to Markdown

* Craig's auto-hinter code to implement a 'capabilities database' so
that glyphs like the 'tilde' accent stay legible at smaller sizes:

I want to say thank you to Ahmet, Anurag, and Craig – it's great to
have people like you who want to help improve FreeType – and wish you
all the best for your future careers!
