-The GNU Hurd project has successfully participated in the 
-[Google Summer of Code 2008](http://code.google.com/soc/2008/hurd/about.html)!
+# 2009
 
-All in all we had five students working on a diverse selection of five projects
-from our [[ideas_list|gsoc/project_ideas]], and the students as well as the mentors 
-did a great job!
+The Google Summer of Code is currently in the planning phase.
 
-## Projects
 
-* [[Sergiu_Ivanov|scolobb]] worked on **namespace-based translator selection**.
-  Although he wasn't an official (sponsored) GSoC student, he worked on his
-  project quite as steady as the other students (except for a two week
-  vacation). The project however was hampered by various misunderstandings,
-  wrong assumptions, and several major redesigns during the course of the work
-  -- which is probably more our fault than the student's. In the end, though, he
-  completed nsmux (the main namespace proxy handling the magic filename
-  lookups, running dynamic translators on demand); he still works on
-  finishing the translator stack filtering necessary to implement some of the
-  desired functionality (accessing files while skipping existing translators).
-
-* [[Zheng_Da|zhengda]] worked on **network virtualization** and some related topics. In
-  spite of many open design question in the beginning, he did a lot of good
-  work -- finishing not only the ethernet multiplexer and filter translators,
-  which form the core of his project, but also a glibc patch to allow
-  overriding the standard socket servers with environment variables; the
-  devnode translator and a pfinet patch to allow accessing network devices
-  through device files; support for setting the network device in promiscuous
-  mode in gnumach; a pfinet patch to use BPF for the packet filtering instead
-  of the old Mach packet filters, and also to set a proper filter rule that
-  really only passes the required packages to pfinet; a patch for the subhurd
-  boot program to allow giving arbitrary virtual devices to the subhurd; and a
-  proxy for the proc server, which allows running unmodified programs with a
-  pseudo device master port instead of the real one -- providing some of the
-  subhurd functionality without having to start a complete new system instance.
-  He is still working on fixing some remaining issues, and on allowing subhurds
-  to be run by normal users.
-
-* [[Flavio_Cruz|flaviocruz]] was working on **Lisp bindings for the Hurd interfaces**,
-  and did a great job: Not only did he implement bindings for all low-level
-  interfaces as well as higher-level libraries for easy creation of translators
-  and other hurdish programs, but also a whole bunch of sample
-  translators based on these bindings, some of them quite useful on their own
-  account. He also fixed a few bugs in the Hurd he found along the way.
-  Presently he is doing some further improvements, like additional abstractions
-  and more sample translators.
-
-* [Andrei Barbu](http://0xab.com) was working on
-  **porting a kernel instrumentation framework** like dtrace or SystemTap. He
-  implemented the necessary kernel infrastructure (and some nice general
-  improvements along the way), making it possible to create tracing programs by
-  hand; however, only at the end of the summer he realized that SystemTap is
-  really extremely Linux-specific (while dtrace was ruled out already at the
-  setout because of licensing problems), so there is no nice frontend yet.
-  Unfortunately he was not able to continue work beyond the official deadline
-  because of his PhD.
-
-* [[Madhusudan.C.S|madhusudancs]] was working on a **new procfs implementation**, to
-  allow running existing programs based on Linux procfs out of the box. He
-  managed to implement all the necessary information bits, so the most
-  important procfs programs now work; and also fixed the procps program suite
-  to actually build on the Hurd. There are still some major bugs left, though.
-  Aside from fixing the remaining bugs, he now works on adding some more
-  information bits that are nontrivial to implement, and on fixing libgtop to
-  work for us as well.
-
-## IRC meetings
-
-Since the selection of the students on we have had regular GSoC IRC meetings,
-every Friday 19:00 UTC.
-
-Minutes from some of the meetings: [[2008/minutes-2008-04-25]],
-[[2008/minutes-2008-05-02]], [[2008/minutes-2008-05-16]]
-
-We decided to keep up the meetings after the end of official GSoC, so things
-can be properly wrapped up for upstream submission; but also because the
-students want to continue discussing progress with their ongoing work,
-problems, future directions etc.
-
-I also think that regular IRC meetings are a good thing in general.
-
-As always, the meetings are not only for (former) GSoC students and mentors,
-but open to any interested party :-)
-
-If someone of you is lurking around here and would like to contribute,
-but feel that you could do so better under formal mentoring: Please
-speak up at the meeting! :-)

-## History
+# History
 
 2006 and 2007 we participated in GSoC under the umbrella of the GNU project,
 getting one slot each year.
 
 <!-- TODO.  Extend.  -->
 
-## Joining in
+In 2008 we successfully participated on our own, no longer within the GNU
+project.  Read about our five students' success on the [[2008]] page.

 in your free time or maybe in next years Google Summer of Code -
