+Review what *we* still need to use the Hurd for our day-to-day tasks
+http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-08/msg00029.html with summary
+http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-08/msg00087.html
+
+Jeremie Koenig: [procfs rewrite](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-08/msg00165.html): I have successfully tested it with most of the Linux procps utilities,
+as well as busybox and htop. It seems to be stable, not too slow, and it
+stays under 1.5M in resident size. To get and test it:
+
+    git clone http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/hurd.git
+    cd hurd
+    git remote add jk git://github.com/jeremie-koenig/hurd.git
+    git fetch jk
+    git checkout jk/procfs  # Add "-b procfs" to create a local branch.
+    make procfs
+    settrans -ag /proc procfs/procfs --compatible
+    # you now have your new procfs setup for your user
+
+<!--note: this shows off the ease with which you can test deeper changes in the Hurd, so I think it warrants the space it gets.-->
+
+Jeremie Koenig: Fix and cleanup the buildsystem: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-08/msg00105.html

+Thomas Schwinge: [added more information](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-08/msg00066.html) into the wiki, notably open issues, to facilitate coordination, and started converting [hurdextras cvs repositories ]() into the [hurd git repos]() and the [incubator repository]().

+Diego Nieto Cid brought the console-driver-xkb up to date for [Arch Hurd](http://archhurd.org) http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-08/msg00012.html
 
-> http://www.archhurd.org/news/18
+Also Arch Hurd [released a new LiveCD](http://www.archhurd.org/news/17) ([changes](http://www.barrucadu.co.uk/arch-hurd-livecd-i686-core-2010-08-25iso)) which is a lot more stable that the previous one (including a more stable X, now at Xorg 1.9!), added a [Planet Arch Hurd](http://planet.archhurd.org/) which aggregates the Arch Hurd Blogs and packaged everything you need for a [HAMP](http://www.archhurd.org/news/18/) system: Hurd, Apache, MySQL and PHP.
+
+Neal presented the Hurd at the [GHM (GNU Hackers' Meeting) in denhaag](http://www.gnu.org/ghm/2010/denhaag/) ([video: It’s About Freedom, Or Why you should care](http://audio-video.gnu.org/video/ghm2010/GNU-Hurd_-_Its_About_Freedom,_Or_Why_you_should_care.ogv)). 
+
+Also Michael Bank presented Debian GNU/Hurd [at the DebConf10](http://penta.debconf.org/dc10_schedule/events/595.en.html): ([slides: “Past. Present. And Future?”](http://penta.debconf.org/dc10_schedule/attachments/159_debian-hurd.pdf), [recording](http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2010/debconf10/high/1117_Debian_GNUHurd.ogv)).
