-This year we are again participating in [Google Summer of Code](http://socghop.appspot.com)
-under the [GNU umbrella](http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/org/show/google/gsoc2010/gnuproject).
+We're in! The GNU Hurd project will again participate in the [Google Summer of
+Code](http://socghop.appspot.com) under the [GNU
+umbrella](http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/).
- * *[[Jeremie Koenig|jkoenig]]*, mentored by *[[Samuel
- Thibault|samuelthibault]]*, is 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 easily offer up to date disc-sets.
- ([Details](http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2010/HurdDebianInstaller/JeremieKoenig).)
+On Monday, 2011-03-28 the *student application period* will
+[begin](http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2011/timeline),
+the deadline is on Friday, 2011-04-08. That is plenty of time for discussing
+your applications -- but please don't wait to the last minute!
- * *[[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort|pochu]]*, mentored by *Carl Fredrik Hammar* (who
- was a GSoC student in 2007), is working on a task that may be perceived as
- less exciting from the outside, but yet is extremely valuable: [fixing
- compatibility problems exposed by projects'
- testsuites](http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/student_project/show/google/gsoc2010/gnuproject/t127230759396).

- * *[[Karim Allah Ahmed|kam]]*, mentored by *Sergio López*, is working on
- [tuning the VM Subsystem in
- GNU/Hurd](http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/student_project/show/google/gsoc2010/gnuproject/t127230759587)
- to bring the virtual memory management in Hurd/Mach up to date.

+## Applying for a Task
We always ask students that want to apply for a task (in the course of the
Google Summer of Code) to mind our distinct [[student_application_form]].
-Apart from our own [[project_ideas]], there are also two [Hurd-related ideas
-for X.Org](http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Hurd_Porting).
+We have a list of [[project_ideas]], and students are likewise encouraged to
+submit their own project proposals.
-As the Google Summer of Code 2010 has already started, you can no longer
-participate as a GSoC student. However,
-working on one of these projects is still a good opportunity to get started with Hurd development.
Please read up about [[contributing]] in general;
and feel free to ask any questions you might have at one of our [[regular_IRC_meetings|IRC#regular_meetings]].
Generally it's a good idea to [[contact_us|communication]] when starting to work on some project.
+Working on one of these projects is generally a good opportunity to get started
+with Hurd development, even outside of the GSoC context.
