One of the things that _have been done_ and will continue to be done, is
promoting, showing, explaining the HURD, and GNU Mach during the Debian
Conference. This year was the very beginning. The next one must
emphasize the fact that kernel != linux, and that MACH/HURD exists (not
to mention *BSD).

Another task (RMS was not quite happy with the state of the GNU HURD
pages on the official site) is to organize and keep up to date the
pages, to show that people are working.
I think I will volunteer for the task... and the fact that I know almost
nothing about MACH/HURD is perhaps a quality : If I want to know what
the site is about, I need to find, read and keep up to date the docs ;)

Cu in Bordeaux next year (for the 1st Debian Conference),
