+Jérémie Koenig started working on his [[Google Summer of Code
+project|user/jkoenig/java]]: bringing not only Java to the Hurd, but also
+fixing or adding missing parts in the Hurd's components along the way.  For
+example, he already contributed [a set of signal handling
+improvements](http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2011-06/threads.html#00119).
+
+Samuel Thibault
+[created](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-05/msg00189.html) the
+first Debian GNU/Hurd CD set with a graphical installer.  You can dowload it at
+[the usual place for Debian CD
+images](http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/installer/cdimage/).
+
+Amongst others, Samuel also [tracked down and
+fixed](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2011-05/msg00025.html) a port
+leak in `file_reparent`.  This one got visible on the Debian package builder
+machine.
+
+On the organizational side, there is now a real plan to release a Hurd variant
+of Debian with their next major release, Wheezy.  Expected towards the end of
+2012 or beginning of 2013, the Hurd-specific bits of that release effort's
+process are being tracked on <http://wiki.debian.org/Debian_GNU/Hurd>.  There
+is still a lot of work left to be done, but -- as everyone knows -- a real goal
+as well as a bit of pressure might help to actually get it done.  If you want
+to lend a helping hand in order to make this happen, [[porting
+packages|contributing#porting]] is a great way to get started and do something
+useful at the same time.
+
+Tanguy le Carrour offered to sponsor some Hurd work, and followed up on his
+offer by adding to the Hurd bounties that Thomas Schwinge had set up over at on
+FOSS Factory -- [[claim them if you can|2011-05-02-foss_factory]]!  It's not
+(not yet?) comparable to a Google Summer of Code student's salary, but a step
+into the right direction.  So, if you have more money than time and want the
+Hurd to advance, why don't you [[join Tanguy|2011-05-02-foss_factory]]?
+
+At the end of August, Hurd folks will be meeting at the [[GNU Hackers
+Meeting|community/meetings/ghm2011]] in Paris.  Samuel Thibault will be giving
+a talk (*GNU/Hurd, aka. Extensibility from the Ground*), and -- amongs others
+-- Jérémie Koenig will be there too, ready to answer all the questions about
+his Java/Hurd Google Summer of Code work.
