+  * The Arch Hurd Hackers [packaged DDE](http://www.archhurd.org/news/22/), so
+    Linux 2.6 drivers can now be compiled on Arch Hurd to run in
+    userspace. At the time of writing it supports network cards, while
+    other driver-types still need their interfaces ported.
+
+  * Also they had
+    [a booth at FrOSCon](http://www.froscon.de/aussteller/projekt) and
+    [released a new Arch Hurd LiveCD](http://www.archhurd.org/news/24/),
+    so new users can easily test the current state of the Arch flavor
+    of the Hurd.
+
+  * The videos and slides from the GNU Hacker Meeting 2011 in Paris
+    are [online](http://www.gnu.org/ghm/2011/paris/), including the
+    talk from Samuel Thibault:
+    [GNU/Hurd, aka. Extensibility from the Ground](http://audio-video.gnu.org/video/ghm2011/Samuel_Thibault-GNU_Hurd.ogv)
+    ([slides](http://www.gnu.org/ghm/2011/paris/slides/samuel-thibault-hurd.pdf)). He
+    explains nicely how the simple concept of translators gives power
+    to non-priviledged and casual users (once we get some of those :)
+    ) without security implications, and how Sub-Hurds and
+    Neighbor-Hurds compare to Linux containers.

+    [improved the Hurd signalling](http://lists.gnu.org/bug-hurd/2011-06/msg00073.html),
+    ported OpenJDK and created a
+    [Java Hurd-Library](https://github.com/jeremie-koenig/hurd-java)
+    which already allows writing a
+    [Hello World translator in Java](https://github.com/jeremie-koenig/hurd-java/blob/master/HelloMach.java),
