-In the third quarter of 2011, the Arch Hurd Hackers [packaged DDE](http://www.archhurd.org/news/22/),
-so a subset of Linux 2.6 drivers can now be compiled on Arch Hurd to
-run in userspace. At the time of writing it supports network cards,
-while other driver-types still need their interfaces ported. Also they
-had
-[a booth at FrOSCon](http://www.froscon.de/en/exhibitors/projekte.html)
-and
-[released a new Arch Hurd LiveCD](http://www.archhurd.org/news/24/),
-so new users can easily test the current state of the Arch flavor of
-the Hurd.
-
-Also Richard Braun contributed new Debian and KVM-based
-[[buildd,_porterbox_and_public_box|public_hurd_boxen]], making it
-easier to test the Hurd without much setup as well as improving debian
-packaging.
-
-Samuel Thibault wrote a new
-[Bits from the Debian GNU/Hurd porters](http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2011/07/msg00002.html)
-to keep the Debian Folks up to date with the results of our work. And
-these are quite good: Thanks to the relentless work of our porters,
-you can now use
-[70% of debian packages with the Hurd](https://buildd.debian.org/stats/graph-big.png),
-so we’re coming closer towards
-[getting Hurd into Debian as a release arch](http://wiki.debian.org/Debian_GNU/Hurd). If
-you can port debian packages and want to help the Hurd, this is the
-perfect time to get in contact and
-[port your favorite missing package](http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-devel-debian)
-to the Hurd.
-
-A different type of status update was delivered by Samuel Thibault on
-the GNU Hacker Meeting (GHM). Since the videos and slides from the GNU
-Hacker Meeting 2011 in Paris are
-[online](http://www.gnu.org/ghm/2011/paris/), now, we hope you enjoy
-his talk on
-[GNU/Hurd, aka. Extensibility from the Ground (video)](http://audio-video.gnu.org/video/ghm2011/Samuel_Thibault-GNU_Hurd.ogv)
-([slides](http://www.gnu.org/ghm/2011/paris/slides/samuel-thibault-hurd.pdf)). He
-explains nicely how the simple concept of translators gives power to
-non-priviledged and casual users (once we get some of these :) )
-without security implications, and how Sub-Hurds and Neighbor-Hurds
-compare to Linux containers.
-
- “It’s all about freedom #0”
-
-On the technical side, Thomas Schwinge improved the technical
-documentation of the [[hurd/io_path]] in translators to make it easier
-for new developers to start hacking and Guillem Jover, Fridolin
-Pokorny and Jonathan Neuschäfer
-[sent](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-08/msg00184.html)
-[many](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-08/msg00093.html)
-[patches](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-08/msg00030.html)
-for GNU Mach, improving stability, fixing memory leaks and cleaning up
-code.
-
-Additionally Maksym Planeta replaced GNU Mach’s old zone memory
-allocator with the new slab allocator from Richard Braun
-([integration commit](http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/gnumach.git/commit/?id=50d073c5ef0feb1676606d0068abf626e8297cd7)),
-which should waste less memory than the zone allocator. Also it has a
-cpu cache level, so it should work faster on SMP systems, once we get
-up do date SMP CPU drivers for GNU Mach. It is now being integrated.
-
-And last but definitely not least, Jeremie Koenig finished his Google
-Summer of Code project to
-[Improve Java on Hurd](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/user/jkoenig/java.html). He
-[improved the Hurd signalling](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-06/msg00073.html),
-ported OpenJDK and created a
-[Java Hurd-Library](https://github.com/jeremie-koenig/hurd-java) which
-already allows writing a
-[Hello World translator in Java](https://github.com/jeremie-koenig/hurd-java/blob/master/HelloMach.java). It
-is still pretty low-level, but it paves the way for extending the core
-of the Hurd with Java, which gets the count of supported languages to
-3:
-[C(++)](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hacking-guide/hhg.html#An-Example-using-trivfs),
-[[common_lisp|user/flaviocruz]] and Java.
-
-So if you want to help get the Hurd into Debian as a full release arch,
-so the power to the Hurd gives to casual users can actually get into
-the Hands of these, or dig dig deep into DDE to have more Linux
-drivers running in Userspace, please [[get_in_contact|contact_us]] -
-and maybe grab [[our_source_repos|source_repositories]].

-------
-
-The **GNU Hurd** is the GNU project's replacement for the Unix kernel.
-It is a collection of servers that run on the Mach microkernel to
-implement file systems, network protocols, file access control, and
-other features that are implemented by the Unix kernel or similar
-kernels (such as Linux).
-[[More_detailed|hurd/documentation]].
-
-**GNU Mach** is the microkernel upon which GNU Hurd is based. It
-offers Inter Process Communication (IPC) which the Hurd uses to define
-interfaces for implementing the services an operating system needs
-from a full-featured kernel.
