Review what *we* still need to use the Hurd for our day-to-day tasks
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-08/msg00029.html with summary
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-08/msg00087.html
Jeremie Koenig: [procfs rewrite](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-08/msg00165.html): I have successfully tested it with most of the Linux procps utilities,
as well as busybox and htop. It seems to be stable, not too slow, and it
stays under 1.5M in resident size. To get and test it:
git clone http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/hurd.git
cd hurd
git remote add jk git://github.com/jeremie-koenig/hurd.git
git fetch jk
git checkout jk/procfs # Add "-b procfs" to create a local branch.
make procfs
settrans -ag /proc procfs/procfs --compatible
# you now have your new procfs setup for your user
<!--note: this shows off the ease with which you can test deeper changes in the Hurd, so I think it warrants the space it gets.-->
Jeremie Koenig: Fix and cleanup the buildsystem: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-08/msg00105.html
Thomas Schwinge: [added more information](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-08/msg00066.html) into the wiki, notably open issues, to facilitate coordination, and started converting [hurdextras cvs repositories ]() into the [hurd git repos]() and the [incubator repository]().
Diego Nieto Cid brought the console-driver-xkb up to date for [Arch Hurd](http://archhurd.org) http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-08/msg00012.html
Also Arch Hurd [released a new LiveCD](http://www.archhurd.org/news/17) ([changes](http://www.barrucadu.co.uk/arch-hurd-livecd-i686-core-2010-08-25iso)) which is a lot more stable that the previous one (including a more stable X, now at Xorg 1.9!), added a [Planet Arch Hurd](http://planet.archhurd.org/) which aggregates the Arch Hurd Blogs and packaged everything you need for a [HAMP](http://www.archhurd.org/news/18/) system: Hurd, Apache, MySQL and PHP.
Neal presented the Hurd at the [GHM (GNU Hackers' Meeting) in denhaag](http://www.gnu.org/ghm/2010/denhaag/) ([video: It’s About Freedom, Or Why you should care](http://audio-video.gnu.org/video/ghm2010/GNU-Hurd_-_Its_About_Freedom,_Or_Why_you_should_care.ogv)).
Also Michael Bank presented Debian GNU/Hurd [at the DebConf10](http://penta.debconf.org/dc10_schedule/events/595.en.html): ([slides: “Past. Present. And Future?”](http://penta.debconf.org/dc10_schedule/attachments/159_debian-hurd.pdf), [recording](http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2010/debconf10/high/1117_Debian_GNUHurd.ogv)).
Besides: You can now [flattr](http://flattr.com/thing/44395/Arch-Hurd) Arch Hurd, if you want to support the project.
