You can dowload it at [the usual place for debian cdimages](http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/installer/cdimage/). + +Also Jeremie Koenig started working on his [[Google_Summer_of_Code_project|user/jkoenig/java]]: bringing not only Java to the Hurd but also adding missing parts in Hurd pthreads. As first treat he [added signal improvements](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-05/msg00182.html). +Meanwhile Tanguy le Carrour offered to sponsor some Hurd work, and followed up on his offer by adding Hurd bounties on FOSS factory - [[claim_them_if_you_can|news/2011-05-02-foss_factory]]! It’s no full additional GSoC, but a step in the right direction. So, if you have more money than time and want the Hurd to succeed, why don’t you join Tanguy? + +On the technical side, Samuel Thibault [fixed a port-leak](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-05/msg00025.html) in file_reparent which got visible in the debian builder. + +And on the organizational side, the Hurd now has a clear path to full inclusion in Debian: Since we now have a graphical installer, the next goal is to get as many packages ported as freekbsd (85%) for Wheezy, sometime between mid 2012 and beginning of 2013. We currently are at about 65%, so, if you always wanted to contribute to the Hurd and did not know how to help most effectively: [[Porting|contributing#porting]] is a great way to help improving the Hurd, especially now! + +Finally, if you think that the MotH needs some spice up or misses crucial information, it is now much easier to contribute to it, because from this version onward, it is prepared [[publicly_in_the_wiki|contributing/web_pages/news/moth_next]], lowering the barrier of entry for news-writing.
