+> The Arch Hurd folks keep [making good
+> progress](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-hurd/2010-04/msg00003.html):
+> their count of available packages keeps increasing, and one of their team
+> reported the first instance of Arch Hurd [running on real
+> hardware](http://www.archhurd.org/news/11) (and uploaded [a
+> photo](http://wiki.archhurd.org/wiki/User:Giselher#ArchHurd_on_a_real_PC) as
+> evidence).
+
+> Of course, our Debian port is still progressing, too: 66% of all Debian
+> packages [are currently available for Debian
+> GNU/Hurd](https://buildd.debian.org/stats/hurd-i386.txt).
+
+> *Samuel Thibault*'s fix got included in libxcb1, so X.org again [works out of
+> the box](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2010/04/msg00034.html) using a
+> simple `startx`.
+
+> *Philip Charles* [extended his
+> offerings](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2010/04/msg00019.html) with an
+> updated *GRUB USB stick for booting Debian GNU/Hurd*.
+
+> *Carl Fredrik Hammar* proposed a patch to [faciliate debugging the startup of
+> misbehaving
+> translators](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-04/msg00037.html).
+
+> Mainly thanks to *Jose Luis Alarcon Sanchez*, we now have a [new QEMU
+> image](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2010/04/msg00098.html).  It can be
+> run with a simple `qemu -hda debian-hurd-17042010-qemu.img`.
+
+> *Thomas Schwinge* updated [our glibc maintenance
+> repository](http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/glibc.git/?h=tschwinge/Roger_Whittaker)
+> to a recent version, including a bunch of the patches from the Debian glibc
+> package (and these are meant to eventually be submitted upstream).  After a
+> long break, he as well
+> [updated](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-04/msg00062.html)
+> his toolchain cross-compilation script [[`cross-gnu`|toolchain/cross-gnu]]
+> to
+> the current source code packages, and added C++ support.
+
+> On to the Google Summer of Code 2010: we got three students working on the
+> Hurd this year:
+
+>   * *Jeremie Koenig*, mentored by *Samuel Thibault*, will be 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).)
+
+>   * *Emilio Pozuelo Monfort*, mentored by *Carl Fredrik Hammar* (who was a
+>     GSoC student in 2007), will be 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).
+>     ([[Details|community/gsoc/project_ideas/testsuites]].)  For starters, he
+>     already got a glibc patch [accepted
+>     upstream](http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2010-04/msg00046.html).
+
+>   * *Karim Allah Ahmed*, mentored by *Sergio López*, will be 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.
+>     ([[Details|community/gsoc/project_ideas/vm_tuning]].)
+
+> We'd be happy to see *YOU* sign up on our mailing lists
+> ([[mailing_lists/bug-hurd]] and [[mailing_lists/debian-hurd]] are the main
+> lists), and [[contribute|contributing]] towards making the Hurd usable for
+> everyone, as written down in
+> [[our_mission_statement|community/weblogs/antrik/hurd-mission-statement]].
+> Perhaps one of the unassigned projects (outside of the Google Summer of Code
+> context) from our [[project_ideas_list|community/gsoc/project_ideas]] is fit
+> for you?
