+# Regular Meetings
+
+Starting in early 2008, there have been regular IRC meetings held between the
+(now former) [[community/GSoC]] students and their mentors.  These continue to
+take place even that the [[Google_Summer_of_Code_2008|community/gsoc/2008]] is
+over, and still take place, **every Friday at 19:00 UTC in the `#hurd`
+channel**.  Of course, the meetings are not only for (former) GSoC students and
+mentors, but open to any interested party.  So, everyone, take your chance to
+chat with GNU Hurd developers!
+

 # Channels
 
 All Hurd IRC channels are hosted on [Freenode.net](http://freenode.net/).
