+I thought a bit about what I’d need from Hurd to use it for some of my real life tasks. 
+
+My desktop has to be able to do everything it does now, and that under high load, so it currently is no useful target for the Hurd. 
+
+But then I have an OLPC XO sitting here, and I use it mostly for work and for clearly defined tasks. As such it seems natural to me to check, what the Hurd would have to be able to do to support my workflow on the OLPC. 
+
+### What I need
+
+* Writing text and programming Python with emacs. - *works*. 
+* Use Mercurial for my versiontracked stuff. - *works*. 
+* Reading websites with emacs and w3m or with lynx. - *works*. 
+* Use SSH to go on my desktop and on the university machine. - *should work*.
+* Run X11 with dwm and emacs. - *should work*.
+* Boot Hurd on the OLPC from a USB stick. - *not yet*? 
+* Support networking over wlan and wpa_supplicant. - *not yet*? Might DDE kit help? 
+* Listen to music with Quod Libet in X11. - *not yet*. Needs audio support. 
+
+### What would be nice
+
+* Run a Gentoo system. - not *really* needed, but nice to update my system with the same tools. 
+* Watch videos with mplayer. - unlikely. Even with Linux as kernel watching videos pushes my XO to the limit. But this is not essential. 
+
+
+So, as soon as Debian GNU/Hurd (or Arch Hurd) supports the things I need, I’ll put it on a USB-stick and use it for coding and writing. 
+
+To be frank: I’d likely even use it without audio-support. I have an mp3 player and can feed it via USB. So the essential features for me are: 
+
+### Essential features
+
+* Writing text and programming Python with emacs. - works. 
+* Use Mercurial for my versiontracked stuff. - works. 
+* Use SSH to go on my desktop and on the university machine. - should work.
+* Boot Hurd on the OLPC from a USB stick. - not yet? 
+* Support networking over wlan and wpa_supplicant. - not yet? Might DDE kit help? 
+
+### Conclusion
+
+The Hurd doesn’t yet do everything I need for my OLPC, but it isn’t that far away either. Grub already gets [ported to OLPC](http://grub.enbug.org/OLPC), so what’s missing to make the Hurd a work system for me are just *booting on OLPC from USB stick* and *wlan-support on OLPC*. 
+
+All the rest I need for work is already in place.

+# Issues
+
 The `ext2fs` translator from the upstream Hurd code base can only handle file
 systems with sizes of less than roughly 2 GiB.
 
+[[!tag open_issue_hurd]]
+
 A patch exists to lift this limitation (and is being used in the
 [[Debian_GNU/Hurd_distribution|running/debian]]), but it introduces another
 incompatibility: `ext2fs` then only supports block sizes of 4096 bytes.
 Smaller block sizes are commonly automatically selected by `mke2fs` when using
 small backend stores, like floppy devices.

+
+### July 14th - July 18th
+* Catched up with email.
+* Prepared a patch to implement getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_TYPE, ...).
+  Patch committed to Hurd.
+* Addressed comments in the /dev/fd/N patches and resent them.
+* Investigated another glib's unix-fd failure: passing fds over a socket using
+  sendmsg() doesn't dup them. Created a minimal testcase. Prepared a preliminary
+  patch, needs testing and fixing.
+
+### May 26 - July 13th
+* Copyright assignment on file.
+* Studied a lot to finish my BSc.
+* Got the linkat patch (Savannah #29655) committed upstream.

 ### May 19 - May 26
 * Read [MIG - The MACH Interface Generator](http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/mach/public/doc/unpublished/mig.ps)
 * Worked on bug 28934. Send [patches](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-05/msg00108.html) for review.

+## Midterm Evaluation
+### Accomplished
+* Assigned copyright to the FSF.
+* Read many documentation and source code.
+* /dev/fd/N bug fixed
+* Prepared a patch for getsockopt()
+* Fixed linkat() problems.
+* Investigated bug with O_NOFOLLOW & O_NOTRANS (needs more work).
+* Investigated a glib test failure (garray). Not a Hurd issue.
+### Downtime
+* Studied a lot to finish my BSc. Didn't work on Hurd for a month because of
+  that, so that's why I couldn't make a lot of progress (this was known in
+  advance, although in the end the downtime was a bit larger than expected).
+* There's no expected downtime from now on.
