+> Samuel Thibault uploaded a new version of the hurd
+> [[Debian package|hurd/running/debian]] which improves stability.
+
+> [[Sergiu Ivanov|scolobb]] implemented most of the functionality of the
+> [[union mount translator|hurd/translator/unionmount]] which allows combining
+> the [[filesystem trees exported by several translators|hurd/translator]] with
+> the filesystem tree of the underlying node (in contrast to a pure
+> [[hurd/translator/unionfs]], which won't do that).  The patches are currently
+> undergoing testing and review on the [[bug-hurd mailing
+> list|mailing_lists/bug-hurd]].  This work is being done as a [[Google Summer
+> of Code|community/gsoc]] project, and we're happy to tell that Sergiu
+> successfully passed the project's midterm evaluation.
+
+> Also, [[Zheng Da|zhengda]] [fixed a bug](https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?6851) in GNU Mach's
+> [[!wikipedia Berkeley Packet Filter desc="BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter)"]]
+> implementation and contributed a number of fixes and 
+> improvements for [[hurd/debugging/rpctrace]] which should help further debugging.
+
+> Aside from us looking for new [[contributors|contributing]] all the time,
+> here is another job opening that doesn't require specific Hurd knowledge:
+> we're seeking [someone interested in writing a regression test suite for Hurd
+> components](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2009-07/msg00177.html).
