+> This month Philip Charles created a new [installation

+> for the Hurd, which brings us a big step towards installing the Hurd from the
+> Hurd (without the need of a Linux-based installer). If you enjoy testing
+> stuff, please give it a try.
+
+> On the same front, Michael Banck uploaded a new version of
+> [crosshurd](http://packages.debian.org/sid/crosshurd) that makes it again
+> possible to use this package for creating a GNU/Hurd system image directly
+> from Debian unstable packages.
+
+> Also, Thomas Schwinge migrated Sergiu Ivanov's [[hurd/translator/nsmux]],
+> [[Flávio Cruz|flaviocruz]]' cl-hurd *(clisp bindings)*, and Carl Fredrik
+> Hammar [[hurd/libchannel]] repositories into our new [*incubator* Git
+> repository](http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/incubator.git/), making
+> them easier to access for other contributors.
+
+> Our bunch of porters continued to make further Debian packages usable on
+> GNU/Hurd: Pino Toscano worked on a lot of packages, and Wesley W. Terpstra
+> made [mlton](http://packages.debian.org/sid/mlton) build -- together with
+> Samuel Thibault, who first had to enhance [[GNU
+> Mach|microkernel/mach/gnumach]] to support allocating more than 1 GiB of RAM
+> to one user-space process, which mlton needs.
+
+> On the go, Samuel also fixed a number of other bugs here and there, for
+> example together with Eric Blake and Roland McGrath hashed out a difficile
+> issue in the filesystem servers regarding POSIX conformance and system
+> stability.
