+> This month saw the first booting version of an
+> [Arch GNU Hurd](http://www.archhurd.org/),
+> which seconds the distribution from
+> [Debian](http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/)
+> which already gives you 66% of the debian software archive.
+>
+> Also we organized a meeting at FOSDEM, February 6th and 7th in Bruxelles, where
+> [8 Hurd developers will meet](http://www.bddebian.com/~hurd-web/community/meetings/fosdem_2010/).
+> Six of us will stay in Hotel Astrid with the FSFE folks.
+> On Sunday 7th, Olaf Buddenhagen will be giving two presentations in the
+> [Alt-OS Devroom](http://dev.haiku-os.org/wiki/FOSDEM2010AltOSDevroomSchedule):
+> *Why is Anyone Still Working on the GNU Hurd?* (10:30)
+> and *Porting KGI graphics drivers from Linux to GNU Hurd* (13:00).
+>
+> And Carl Fredrik Hammar
+> [finished and presented](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-01/msg00078.html)
+> his thesis
+> [Generalizing mobility for the Hurd](http://users.student.lth.se/cs07fh9/2009-hammar-hurd-mobility.pdf)
+> and passed with distinction. Its abstract reads:
+> *The GNU Hurd features mobile objects
+> in its implementation of filesystem backing stores.
+> This thesis investigates the
+> limitations and security concerns
+> these objects present,
+> and how they can be overcome.
+> This is done in preparation for new applications
+> that feature mobile code and mobile objects.
+> In addition,
+> one such application is studied and implemented,
+> in which mobile code is used to make
+> the ioctl system call more extensible.*
