The GNU Hurd project has been accepted as a mentoring organization for
the [Google Summer of Code
2008](http://code.google.com/soc/2008/hurd/about.html)!
Student selection is over, and we have four slots -- quite some more than the
one we had the previous years under the GNU umbrella... Let's hope for some
good results :-)
The selected projects are:
* Lisp binding for Hurd translator libraries
* Network virtualization for subhurds etc.
* Usable procfs implementation
* dtrace support
Special cheers go to Sergiu Ivanov, whom we unfortunately couldn't select
because he was impeded during the application phase, but who nevertheless is
working on his project (namespace-based translator selection) as a volunteer
with a dedication matching that of the selected students!
The summer session has started by the end of May, and all the students are
making good progress. We are in good hopes of seeing five successful projects
at the end of this summer :-)
