+A month of the Hurd: *Arch Hurd on Hardware*, *X.org out of the box*, *new debian qemu image* and *GSoC students*.

+> This month the Arch Hurd team
+> reported the first instance of Arch Hurd
+> [running on real hardware](http://www.archhurd.org/news/11) (and uploaded
+> [a photo](http://wiki.archhurd.org/wiki/User:Giselher#ArchHurd_on_a_real_PC) as evidence).
+>
+> Also the fix from *Samuel Thibault* got included in libxcb1, so X.org
+> [works out of the box again](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2010/04/msg00034.html) with
+> a simple startx and *Philip Charles*
+> [extended his offerings](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2010/04/msg00019.html)
+> with an updated *GRUB usb stick for booting Debian/Hurd*.
+
+> And mainly thanks to *Jose Luis Alarcon Sanchez* we now have a
+> [new qemu image](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2010/04/msg00098.html)
+> Which runs out of the box via `qemu -hda debian-hurd-17042010-qemu.img`.
+>
+> Now to the GSoC news: we got
+> [3 students](http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/program/list_projects/google/gsoc2010)
+> working on the Hurd this year:
+>
+>> *Jeremie Koenig* mentored by *Samuel Thibault* will be working on adapting the debian-installer to
+>> [produce working Debian GNU/Hurd installation images](http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/student_project/show/google/gsoc2010/debian/t127230758239)
+>> so we can more easily offer up to date disc-sets
+>> ([details](http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2010/HurdDebianInstaller/JeremieKoenig)).
+>>
+>> Also *Emilio Pozuelo Monfort* mentored by *Fredrik Hammar* will work on the
+>> possibly boring yet extremely valuable task of
+>> [fixing compatibility problems exposed by projects testsuites](http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/student_project/show/google/gsoc2010/gnuproject/t127230759396)
+>> ([[details|community/gsoc/project_ideas/testsuites]]).
+>
+>> And finally *Karim Ahmed* mentored by *Sergio Lopez* will work on
+>> [Tuning the VM Subsystem in GNU/Hurd](http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/student_project/show/google/gsoc2010/gnuproject/t127230759587)
+>> to get the virtual memory management in Hurd/Mach up to date
+>> ([[details|community/gsoc/project_ideas/vm_tuning]]).
+>
+> So we had quite an exiting month with many starting threads,
+> which makes this the perfect time to
+> subscribe to our [[mailing_lists]] (bug-hurd and debian-hurd are the main lists)
+> and see the Hurd make another leap forward :)
+>
+> We’d be happy to see you sign up and
+> contribute towards making the Hurd usable for everyone
+> ([[our_mission|community/weblogs/antrik/hurd-mission-statement]]).
