* Svante Signell: [x86info](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-01/msg00030.html)
-* Samuel Thibault: Bootable USB installer (but not running from USB): <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-02/msg00077.html>
-* Preparing for GSoC 2011 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-02/msg00000.html>
-* Etenil and others improved the help output of the crucial settrans command: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-02/msg00011.html>
-* Svante Signell [fixed dhcp](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-03/msg00017.html) with help from Samuel Thibault, bringing the Hurd [closer to full d-i support](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-03/msg00016.html).
-* Svante Signell [got emacs working again](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2011/01/msg00025.html), giving the Hurd a full GNU environment again :)
-* Svante Signell got libgc1c2 building by just [copying the symbols file](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2011/01/msg00062.html) and also got many more packages building again.

+And last but not least, we got [mentioned by xkcd](http://www.explainxkcd.com/2011/01/07/good-code/) as an example of writing good code (though the resolution does not really do the Hurd justice, as it ignores that it got into a state in which these news can be written in the Hurd itself, even though it has very few active developers. If you want to see how much difference *you* can make, just ask Svante).
