This Month in Rust OSDev: June 2022

[phil-opp]

This is a draft for the upcoming "This Month in Rust OSDev: June 2022" post. Please add your content to this draft by creating a pull request against the next branch. All projects related to OS development in Rust are valid here, they don't need to be associated with the rust-osdev organization.

Unfortunately, I was busy with other things the last few days, so this PR is again quite late. Sorry about that! If someone wants to help drafting up these issues in the future, please let me know!

Hi, I'll create a quick PR to add an entry about MOROS for the "Personal Projects" section if it's okay. I've made some good progress in June and I think it's slowly becoming an interesting example of what to do after the tutorials.

Linked list allocator v0.10.1 released, and is now not buggy as of rust-osdev/linked-list-allocator#64!

@phil-opp how about a GitHub bot that creates a PR each month?

[phil-opp]

That would be very useful! I already thought about using the github API to collect of merged PRs for all rust-osdev projects, but I didn't have time to look into it yet. But even a bit that only creates this empty draft would be useful already.
