+> A bit late, but here it is finally: the *MotH* for February, 2010.
+
+> This month saw the first running and testable 
+> [[DDE driver by Zheng Da|user/zhengda]],
+> with which he begins to reap the benefits of porting [[DDE]] to the Hurd --
+> essentially, allowing us to use current Linux device drivers.
+
+> Samuel Thibault pushed a [libpciaccess x86
+> backend](http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libpciaccess/commit/?id=af2be74979aeab9a2fc4c933462e97ce70f816b6)
+> to X.Org:
+
+> > This adds support on x86 for OSes that do not have a PCI interface,
+> > tinkering with I/O ports, and makes use of it on GNU/Hurd.
+
+> In the course of this, he also got commit access to X.org, so it should be
+> easier now to get further Hurd-related patches applied.
+
+> As announced in our [[previous news blurb|2010-01-31]], at FOSDEM, Bas did
+> his presentation of [*Iris, a new capability-based microkernel
+> OS*](http://fosdem.org/2010/schedule/events/emb_iris) in the Embedded
+> Developer Room, and Olaf illustrated [*Why is Anyone Still Working on the GNU
+> Hurd?*](http://fosdem.org/2010/schedule/events/altos_hurd), and presented his
+> work of [*Porting KGI graphics drivers from Linux to GNU
+> Hurd*](http://fosdem.org/2010/schedule/events/altos_kgi_hurd), in the Alt-OS
+> Developer Room.
+
+> In [Mikel Olasagasti's
+> words](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-03/msg00014.html):
+
+> > The room was full and people was "standing-up" for the talk. Some people
+> > even couldn't enter to the room (+20?).
+> > 
+> > Antrik [Olaf] made a good job. Was nice for the crowd to see Hurd running X,
+> > slow but working.
+
+> The regular IRC meeting schedule has been
+> [changed](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-02/msg00040.html)
+> to Wednesdays, 11:00 UTC; see the [[IRC#regular_meetings]] page for details.
+
+> Last, but not least, it is time again to think about the [[Google Summer of
+> Code|community/gsoc]].  In [[community/gsoc/2007]], the GNU Hurd had one
+> successful project, in [[community/gsoc/2008]] five of them,
+> [[community/gsoc/2009]] saw another one, so we obviously plan to make it five
+> projects again this year.  We already have [[dozens of
+> ideas|community/gsoc/project ideas]] online, and will add yet more -- also
+> based on YOUR suggestions and wishes!
+
+> So, if you're a student, and interested in working on the GNU Hurd, please
+> join in; browse through the [[community/GSoC]] pages, and don't be shy to
+> [[contact us]]!
