> 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 Hurd, 
> since [[dde]] allows to use current Linux drivers for Mach and L4 more easily. 

> Also Samuel Thibault 
> [pushed libpciaccess to Xorg](http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2010-January/048801.html) 
> which adds support in the Xserver (x86) 
> “for OSes that do not have a PCI interface, 
> tinkering with I/O ports, and makes use of it on GNU/Hurd.”

> Additionally we saw the talks on the Hurd in the dev-alt room at

> Sadly we couldn't yet upload notes from the talks - 
> as soon as these are availble, you'll get notice here. 

> And it is time for the [[Google_Summer_of_Code|community/gsoc]] again, so 
> [we started our weekly GSoC IRC meetings](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-02/msg00040.html) in which we coordinate the GSoC projects. 
> [[2008|community/gsoc/2008]] the GNU Hurd had 5 successful projects, 
> 2009 saw [[another_one|user/scolobb]], 
> and we hope to make it 5 projects again this year. 
> The last few years brought 
> [libchannel](http://code.google.com/soc/2007/gnu/appinfo.html?csaid=44FB3FD69C665A08), 
> **lisp bindings**, **dtrace**, 
> **network vertualization** (which led to the DDE drivers), **procfs** 
> and [[unionmount|hurd/translator/unionmount]], 
> and we have [[dozens_of_ideas|community/gsoc/project_ideas]] 
> for innovative projects this year. 

> So if you're interested in working on the GNU Hurd,
> or want to help with coordinatung, or simply want to be up to date, 
> please come and join in.
