+> This month, we saw the first booting version of an [[hurd/running/Arch Hurd]]
+> system, which seconds the [[Debian GNU/Hurd|hurd/running/debian]]
+> distribution that already provides two third of the Debian software archive
+> compiled for GNU/Hurd.
+
+> Nine Hurd developers will [[meet at FOSDEM
+> 2010|community/meetings/fosdem_2010]] on February 6th and 7th in Bruxelles,
+> Belgium.  On Sunday, Olaf will be giving two presentations in the Alt-OS
+> Developer Room: [*Why is Anyone Still Working on the GNU
+> Hurd?*](http://fosdem.org/2010/schedule/events/altos_hurd) (10:30), and
+> [*Porting KGI graphics drivers from Linux to GNU
+> Hurd*](http://fosdem.org/2010/schedule/events/altos_kgi_hurd) (13:00).  The
+> day before, on Saturday, Bas will be giving a [talk about *Iris*, his new
+> kernel](http://fosdem.org/2010/schedule/events/emb_iris) (18:00, Embedded
+> Developer Room).
+
+> 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.  Congratulations!  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.
+
+> So, when are *YOU* going to do a thesis, or another project on a
+> GNU/Hurd-related topic?  [[Contact_us]] if you are interested!
