-* During the last two months, Svante Signell ported [x86info](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-01/msg00030.html) and [fixed dhcp](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-03/msg00017.html) with help from Samuel Thibault, bringing the Hurd [closer to full d-i support](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-03/msg00016.html). Also he [got emacs working again](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2011/01/msg00025.html), giving the Hurd a full GNU environment and got libgc1c2 building by simply [copying the symbols file](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2011/01/msg00062.html) - along with fixing build problems of many other packages.
-
-* Samuel Thibault [explained](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-02/msg00077.html) how to use the LiveCD to install Hurd from a USB stick (but not write to USB, as GNU Mach is still missing USB support) and
-
-* the Arch Hurd folks wrote a [Year of Arch Hurd](http://www.barrucadu.co.uk/year-of-arch-hurd), wrapping up their successes, including GHAMP (GNU/Hurd, Apache, MySQL, and PHP), Xorg and their [Arch Hurd LiveCD](http://www.archhurd.org/gethurd.php#livecd).
-
-* Also Etenil and others [improved the help output](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-02/msg00011.html) of the crucial settrans command, which is used throughout the Hurd from mounting file systems to setting up the network.
-
-* And we started [preparing](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-02/msg00000.html) for GSoC 2011 - if you are interested in contributing, why not drop by? Many project ideas can be found at [[community/gsoc/project_ideas]].
-
-Finally we got a nice [mention by xkcd](http://www.explainxkcd.com/2011/01/07/good-code/) as an example of writing (too) good code (though the resolution does not really do the Hurd justice, as it ignores that it got into a state in which these news can be written in the Hurd itself, even though it has very few active developers. If you want to see how much difference *you* can make, just ask Svante).

+We're again participating in the [[Google Summer of Code's 2011
+edition|community/gsoc]]. If you know someone who knows that her neighbor
+would be interested in getting mentored (by us) and paid (by Google) for
+working on a [[GNU/Hurd task|community/gsoc/project_ideas]], please hurry up:
+the *student application period* will end this Friday, 2011-04-08.
+
+There's further progress to be reported on the package porting front:
+additionally to the usual suspects, Svante Signell
+[has](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-01/msg00028.html)
+actively [started](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2011/02/msg00021.html)
+with [contributing](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2011/02/msg00036.html)
+by [fixing](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-03/msg00017.html)
+or [porting](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2011/01/msg00025.html) his
+[favorite](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2011/01/msg00062.html) packages
+[to](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2011/01/msg00051.html) GNU/Hurd.
+Welcome, Svante!
+
+Amongst other fixes, Diego Nieto Cid submitted his work for using [XKB's
+keymaps for the Hurd
+console](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-03/threads.html#00053).
+Of course, he was not the only one to contribute fixes; there's always our
+bunch of folks who appear every other month, or week, and send in some
+contribution. Also, as we ask our GSoC applicants to submit patches in order
+to substantiate their application, we've seen some additional ones due to that.
+([[And you can, too.|contributing]])
+
+The Arch Hurd folks published their [Year of Arch Hurd
+report](http://www.barrucadu.co.uk/year-of-arch-hurd), wrapping up their
+progress, including GHAMP (GNU/Hurd, Apache, MySQL, and PHP), X.org, and their
+[Arch Hurd LiveCD](http://www.archhurd.org/gethurd.php#livecd). We had
+published our [[YotH 2010|2010]], too.
+
+Finally we got a nice [recognition (or did they mean...) by
+xkcd](http://xkcd.com/844/), *How to Write Good Code*, subtitled *You can
+either hang out in the Android Loop or the HURD loop*. Go figure! ;-)
