> [reported](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-05/msg00037.html)
-> on the state of porting DDE linux26 to the Hurd,
-> which can improve the GNU Hurd Hardware support a lot.
-> The drivers emulated by qemu and vmware already work fine,
-> but it still needs work to run on real hardware.
-
-> Also Sergio Lopez
-> [added some patches](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-05/msg00106.html)
-> to prevent thread storms when synchronizing large pagers in ext2fs. They should improve performance when many files are accessed at the same time.
-
-> And Emilio Pozuelo Monfort, Carl Fredrik Hammar, Sergio Lopez
-> and others developed some patches (
-> [auth](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-06/msg00003.html),
-> [exec](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-05/msg00108.html),
-> [tmpfs](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-05/msg00076.html),
-> … )
-> to fix or improve the semantics of various internal hurd servers,
-> to avoid some bugs or improve performance.
-
-> Additionally Justus Winter created a [live CD](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-05/msg00033.html)
-> with an installation wizard in the spirit of the OpenBSD installer.
-> He needs testers to improve it.
-
-> And the
-> [scheduled IRC meetings for Google Summer of code](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-05/msg00148.html)
-> are continuing on Mondays and Thursdays, 10:30 UTC.
-> If you want to catch up on them, you can have a look at the
-> [channel logs](http://richtlijn.be/~larstiq/hurd/).

-> <small>*PS: As the amount of new developments on the Hurd has increased quite a bit since the start of the ‘Month of the Hurd’, these news are only a selection of the items you can already test yourself. There’s more in our [[mailing_lists]]. The rough criterium for the Month of the Hurd is “can you already test it and can I say why it is great for the Hurd at large?” There definitely is stuff I don’t understand well enough to explain here… — [[Arne_Babenhauserheide|community/weblogs/ArneBab]]*</small>
