Hi,
I just wrote the news 2010-04 (with help of a draft by Thomas). Please tell me
if there’s something missing or something
we could improve.
A month of the Hurd: *Arch Hurd on Hardware*, *X.org out of the box*, *new
debian qemu image* and *GSoC students*.
> This month the Arch Hurd team
> reported the first instance of Arch Hurd
> [running on real hardware](http://www.archhurd.org/news/11) (and uploaded
> [a photo](http://wiki.archhurd.org/wiki/User:Giselher#ArchHurd_on_a_real_PC)
> as evidence).
>
> Also the fix from *Samuel Thibault* got included in libxcb1, so X.org
> [works out of the box
> again](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2010/04/msg00034.html) with
> a simple startx and *Philip Charles*
> [extended his
> offerings](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2010/04/msg00019.html)
> with an updated *GRUB usb stick for booting Debian/Hurd*.
> And mainly thanks to *Jose Luis Alarcon Sanchez* we now have a
> [new qemu image](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2010/04/msg00098.html)
> Which runs out of the box via `qemu -hda debian-hurd-17042010-qemu.img`.
>
> Now to the GSoC news: we got
> [3
> students](http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/program/list_projects/google/gsoc2010)
>
> working on the Hurd this year:
>

>> [produce working Debian GNU/Hurd installation images]
(http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/student_project/show/google/gsoc2010/debian/t127230758239)

>>
>> Also *Emilio Pozuelo Monfort* mentored by *Fredrik Hammar* will work on the

(http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/student_project/show/google/gsoc2010/gnuproject/t127230759587)

> So we had quite an exiting month with many starting threads,
> which makes this the perfect time to
> subscribe to our [[mailing_lists]] (bug-hurd and debian-hurd are the main
> lists)
> and see the Hurd make another leap forward :)
>
> We’d be happy to see you sign up and
> contribute towards making the Hurd usable for everyone
> ([[our_mission|community/weblogs/antrik/hurd-mission-statement]]).
Best wishes,
