Hi,
I pushed the news to bddebian:
→ http://www.bddebian.com/~hurd-web/news/2010-08-31/
If there’s something missing, please tell me!
> This month you can get a lot of insight into the Hurd very easily by
watching
> the presentations from Neal Walfield and Michael Bank on Hurd
> at the GHM (GNU Hackers' Meeting) in denhaag: [“It’s About Freedom”]
(http://www.gnu.org/ghm/2010/denhaag/)
> ([video](http://audio-video.gnu.org/video/ghm2010/GNU-Hurd_-
_Its_About_Freedom,_Or_Why_you_should_care.ogv))
> and Debian GNU/Hurd at the DebConf10:
> [“Past. Present. And Future?”]
(http://penta.debconf.org/dc10_schedule/events/595.en.html)
> ([slides](http://penta.debconf.org/dc10_schedule/attachments/159_debian-
hurd.pdf),
> [video](http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-
meetings/2010/debconf10/high/1117_Debian_GNUHurd.ogv)),
> including a very nice nod towards the main forces who are presently
> pushing the Hurd forward *(→ further
> [[media_appearances]] of the Hurd).*
> Also Jeremie Koenig (among other things)
> [rewrote procfs](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-
hurd/2010-08/msg00165.html)
> for the [[debian installer Summer of Code project|user/jkoenig]]:
> *“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*
<!--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.-->
> 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 ](http://www.nongnu.org/hurdextras/) into the
> [hurd git repos](http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd) and the
> [incubator repository]
(http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/incubator.git/).
> All of these should make it easier for new contributors to join in, and
> thanks to distributed version control, you can start hacking at once.
> And the Arch Hurd team
> [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. Sidenote: you can now
> [flattr](http://flattr.com/thing/44395/Arch-Hurd)
> Arch Hurd, if you want to support the project.
> Also for
> [Arch Hurd](http://archhurd.org),
> Diego Nieto Cid brought the console-driver-xkb
> [up to date](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-
hurd/2010-08/msg00012.html).
> Finally we had a short review of what the current Hurd contributors
> [still need](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-
hurd/2010-08/msg00029.html)
> ([summary](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-
hurd/2010-08/msg00087.html))
> to use the Hurd for most of their day-to-day tasks.
Best wishes,
Arne
PS: Sorry for taking so long. There’s always too much stuff to do… On a
sidenote: The presentations are great!
