+ * The Arch Hurd Hackers [packaged DDE](http://www.archhurd.org/news/22/), so
+ 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/aussteller/projekt) 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.
+
+ * The videos and slides from the GNU Hacker Meeting 2011 in Paris
+ are [online](http://www.gnu.org/ghm/2011/paris/), including the
+ talk from Samuel Thibault:
+ [GNU/Hurd, aka. Extensibility from the Ground](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 those :)
+ ) without security implications, and how Sub-Hurds and
+ Neighbor-Hurds compare to Linux containers.
+

+ * 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/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
