Well the bulk of the work has been done and Guix does run on Hurd.

It is still ongoing but now I am mostly solving per package problems and
eliminating Linuxism in Guix now but I am not sure if this is enough for
another gsoc. We can talk about it tomorrow.

Btw Samuel I have a talk tomorrow at 10:50 about my GSoC work. Any Hurd
guy/girl available at that time please come. :)

P.S. excuse me if this mail contains any html, I am sending it from my
smartphone.

I may be mistaken, and Manolis may be in a better space to comment on
this than me, but I think Guix on Hurd is ongoing and possibly GSoC for
next year to?

Cheers,

On a more top-level view, we had the following releases:

GNU Hurd 0.6, GNU Hurd 0.7, GNU Mach 1.5, GNU Mach 1.6, GNU MIG 1.5, GNU
MIG 1.6 (not sure it makes sense to highlight the 0.6/1.5 changes, as I
guess those were talked about last year?)

Debian GNU/Hurd 2015

Also, there was the Guix on Hurd GSoC project

I guess there are no real ideas for the next GSoC, but if there are, it
might interest/motivate some in the audience to hear about it.

Hello,

That's when I miss the nice quarterly reports we used to have: what's
new since last FOSDEM?

For now I have only noted:

Fixed native fakeroot
Various optimizations
- Node cache
- Lockless reference counting
- IPC table→radix tree
- Kernel memory management
New rpcscan tool
