-> A bit late, but here it is finally: the *MotH* for February, 2010.
-
-> This month saw the first running and testable
-> [[DDE driver by Zheng Da|user/zhengda]],
-> with which he begins to reap the benefits of porting [[DDE]] to the Hurd --
-> essentially, allowing us to use current Linux device drivers.
-
-> Samuel Thibault pushed a [libpciaccess x86
-> backend](http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libpciaccess/commit/?id=af2be74979aeab9a2fc4c933462e97ce70f816b6)
-> to X.Org:
-
-> > This adds support on x86 for OSes that do not have a PCI interface,
-> > tinkering with I/O ports, and makes use of it on GNU/Hurd.
-
-> In the course of this, he also got commit access to X.org, so it should be
-> easier now to get further Hurd-related patches applied.
-
-> As announced in our [[previous news blurb|2010-01-31]], at FOSDEM, Bas did
-> his presentation of [*Iris, a new capability-based microkernel
-> OS*](http://fosdem.org/2010/schedule/events/emb_iris) in the Embedded
-> Developer Room, and Olaf illustrated [*Why is Anyone Still Working on the GNU
-> Hurd?*](http://fosdem.org/2010/schedule/events/altos_hurd), and presented his
-> work of [*Porting KGI graphics drivers from Linux to GNU
-> Hurd*](http://fosdem.org/2010/schedule/events/altos_kgi_hurd), in the Alt-OS
-> Developer Room.
-
-> In [Mikel Olasagasti's
-> words](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-03/msg00014.html):
-
-> > The room was full and people was "standing-up" for the talk. Some people
-> > even couldn't enter to the room (+20?).
-> >
-> > Antrik [Olaf] made a good job. Was nice for the crowd to see Hurd running X,
-> > slow but working.
-
-> The regular IRC meeting schedule has been
-> [changed](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-02/msg00040.html)
-> to Wednesdays, 11:00 UTC; see the [[IRC#regular_meetings]] page for details.
-
-> Last, but not least, it is time again to think about the [[Google Summer of
-> Code|community/gsoc]]. In [[community/gsoc/2007]], the GNU Hurd had one
-> successful project, in [[community/gsoc/2008]] five of them,
-> [[community/gsoc/2009]] saw another one, so we obviously plan to make it five
-> projects again this year. We already have [[dozens of
-> ideas|community/gsoc/project ideas]] online, and will add yet more -- also
-> based on YOUR suggestions and wishes!
-
-> So, if you're a student, and interested in working on the GNU Hurd, please
-> join in; browse through the [[community/GSoC]] pages, and don't be shy to
-> [[contact us]]!
