+> system, which seconds the [[Debian GNU/Hurd|hurd/running/debian]]
+> distribution that already provides two third of the Debian software archive
+> compiled for GNU/Hurd.
+
+> Nine Hurd developers will [[meet at FOSDEM
+> 2010|community/meetings/fosdem_2010]] on February 6th and 7th in Bruxelles,
+> Belgium. On Sunday, Olaf will be giving two presentations in the Alt-OS
+> Developer Room: [*Why is Anyone Still Working on the GNU
+> Hurd?*](http://fosdem.org/2010/schedule/events/altos_hurd) (10:30), and
+> [*Porting KGI graphics drivers from Linux to GNU
+> Hurd*](http://fosdem.org/2010/schedule/events/altos_kgi_hurd) (13:00). The
+> day before, on Saturday, Bas will be giving a [talk about *Iris*, his new

+> Developer Room).

-> [Generalizing mobility for the Hurd](http://users.student.lth.se/cs07fh9/2009-hammar-hurd-mobility.pdf)
-> and passed with distinction. Its abstract reads:
-> *The GNU Hurd features mobile objects
-> in its implementation of filesystem backing stores.
-> This thesis investigates the
-> limitations and security concerns
-> these objects present,
-> and how they can be overcome.
-> This is done in preparation for new applications
-> that feature mobile code and mobile objects.
-> In addition,
-> one such application is studied and implemented,
-> in which mobile code is used to make
-> the ioctl system call more extensible.*
