+ "presentation by Samuel Thibault: [*Recent developments in the Hurd*](http://www.gnu.org/ghm/2013/paris/)
+
+ This talk will go through the nice developments in the GNU Hurd that have been
+ done over the past few years. This will include work on the text console, on
+ network virtualization, and on general support improvements for languages,
+ bugfixes, etc. I will notably explain how we now run Linux network drivers in
+ a userland process, how a user can run his own TCP/IP stack and make only some
+ applications use it.
+
+
+
+ - Console keyboard configuration through libxkb
+ - Console double-width support: chinese in text mode!
+
+ - netdde: linux 2.6.32 drivers in a userland process
+ - -> /dev/eth0
+ - remap translator
+ - user-started pfinet
+
+ - nsmux, unionmount
+
+ - list of nice translators
+ - netio/socketio
+ - tarfs, cvsfs, xmlfs, mboxfs
+ - httpfs, ftpfs, gopherfs
+ - run
+ - gopherfs
+ - libfuse
+ - nsmux
+
+ - real-life ext2fs/e2fsck debugging (see 2012-q1-q2)
+
+ - GCJ, GNAT, go ongoing
+ - fixed a lot of testsuite failures in perl & python, mostly around the 99% figure nowadays
+ - about stability: buildd daemons usually manage 5-10 days of compiling packages, essentially until hitting a package that uses a lot of memory and makes the box go OOM. I don't even remember when I last reinstalled a buildd. half a dozen years ago probably.
+
+ - Xen port: GNU Mach only
+ - translators now using cthreads
+ - small AHCI driver, which btw supports disks above 128GiB, up to 2TiB
+ - towards 64bitness. Mach boots, 32/64 RPC translation pending
+
+ - we've had a nice 0.401 release on April 2011
+ - Debian native installation
+ Last but not least, the Debian GNU/Hurd porter team has released a snapshot of
+ Debian GNU/Hurd at the same time as the Wheezy release, with a bit more than
+ 75% of the Debian packages!
+
+ - contribute! There's a "small hacks" list on the contributing page.
