+
+We'd like to pass on these marvelous news from our Release Management
+Team, headed by Release Manager Samuel Thibault:
+
+> Hello,
+>
+> There are rumors that Duke Nukem Forever will actually be released in
+> Apr^WMa^WJune 2011, so there's no escape for the Hurd any more, we had
+> to finish and release. There has been considerable progress lately,
+> so it is with great pleasure that the Hurd maintainers team decided
+> to release *version 0.401 of the GNU/Hurd Operating System*. As the
+> version number and image size suggest, this is only a small preview
+> of course, but we expect GNU/Hurd to be of production-quality within
+> the third millenium, to be sure.
+>
+> A *LiveCD demo* is available on
+> <http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-0.401/hurd-0.401.iso>
+> and can be trivially tried using
+> `qemu -cdrom hurd-0.401.iso`
+>
+> We hope that you will appreciate its features and speed.
+>
+> Are you interested in contributing to the GNU Hurd project? Just
+> request an shell account on one of our servers and get started.
