Hi, Sorry for the short notice. The current news reads like this:
> This month saw the first booting version of an > [Arch GNU Hurd](http://www.archhurd.org/), > which seconds the distribution from > [Debian](http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/) > which already gives you 66% of the debian software archive. > > Also we organized a meeting at FOSDEM, February 6th and 7th in Bruxelles, where > [8 Hurd developers will meet](http://www.bddebian.com/~hurd- web/community/meetings/fosdem_2010/). > Six of us will stay in Hotel Astrid with the FSFE folks. > On Sunday 7th, Olaf Buddenhagen will be giving two presentations in the > [Alt-OS Devroom](http://dev.haiku- os.org/wiki/FOSDEM2010AltOSDevroomSchedule): > *Why is Anyone Still Working on the GNU Hurd?* (10:30) > and *Porting KGI graphics drivers from Linux to GNU Hurd* (13:00). > > And Carl Fredrik Hammar > [finished and presented](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug- hurd/2010-01/msg00078.html) > his thesis > [Generalizing mobility for the Hurd] (http://users.student.lth.se/cs07fh9/2009-hammar-hurd-mobility.pdf) > and passed with distinction. Its abstract reads: > *The GNU Hurd features mobile objects > in its implementation of filesystem backing stores. > This thesis investigates the > limitations and security concerns > these objects present, > and how they can be overcome. > This is done in preparation for new applications > that feature mobile code and mobile objects. > In addition, > one such application is studied and implemented, > in which mobile code is used to make > the ioctl system call more extensible.* Please add anything important I missed (I still have problems with my email program, so quite a few things might have slipped past me). I'll merge and push tomorrow... Best wishes, Arne PS: As usual you can get the news beforehand in the master-news_next branch of the wiki (git). -- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- - Ein Würfel System - einfach saubere Regeln - http://1w6.org
