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: 
>

(http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/student_project/show/google/gsoc2010/debian/t127230758239)

>>  
>>

(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

> and see the Hurd make another leap forward :)
