-> Philip Charles, our 72 years old provider of Debian GNU/Hurd installation CDs
-> [has now resigned](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2010/07/msg00020.html)
-> from that position. This has lead to a flood of [public thank-you
-> responses](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2010/07/msg00020.html#00021),
-> and surely yet more of those have been sent privately. Phil, thanks again
-> for providing the many installation images you've started producing [nearly
-> ten years ago](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2000/08/msg00249.html)! --
-> oh, the joy of (not) uploading CD-size images using a 56k modem... -- and
-> that have been the first choice for many of us to get a [[Debian
-> GNU/Hurd|hurd/running/debian]] system installed.
-
-> On the other hand, there's no need to worry about these news: Jérémie Koenig
-> got the [Debian Installer for the
-> Hurd](http://jk.fr.eu.org/debian/hurd-installer/) into a basically working
-> state; there is a simple [four step installation
-> guide](http://jk.fr.eu.org/debian/hurd-installer/README.txt). This brings us
-> a big step forward towards easy installation of Debian GNU/Hurd and automated
-> image creation. You can track Jérémie's progress on his [[user
-> page|jkoenig]].
-
-> Emilio Pozuelo Monfort also made progress with his Google Summer of Code
-> work. For example, he posted a new iteration of his proposed [changes to
-> exec](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-07/msg00141.html) as
-> well as he added support for [sending file descriptors over Unix
-> sockets](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-07/msg00145.html).
-> These patches add features and improve compatibility to other systems, and
-> thus help to get more software packages to work as expected on GNU/Hurd
-> systems.
-
-> Ludovic Courtès [fixed `make
-> dist`](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-07/threads.html#00107),
-> which allows for easy tarball creation of the GNU Hurd sources.
-
-> We've been in the news [[last month|2010-06-30]] -- and this month yet again:
-> LWN posted a well-researched article on the status of the Hurd: Koen
-> Vervloesem: [*The Hurd: GNU's quest for the perfect
-> kernel*](http://lwn.net/Articles/395150/).
