Hello!

I=E2=80=99m pleased to announce that Manolis Ragkousis will (at last!) be
working on the Guix port to GNU/Hurd as part of Google=E2=80=99s Summer of
Code as described at
<http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas-2015.html#guix_hurd>.
Manolis will be mentored by Samuel Thibault and myself.

Manolis actually started working on this more than a year ago, so
chances are that you already met.  ;-)  So far Manolis has almost
completed preliminary work to permit cross-compilation from GNU/Linux to
GNU/Hurd using Guix.  This was the first step towards bootstrapping
GuixSD natively on GNU/Hurd (see
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Bootstrapping.html>),
which will be the main focus of this GSoC.  The second part of this GSoC
will focus on adjusting GuixSD to boot GNU/Hurd.

The code will be hosted in the Guix repo, probably in branches that we
will gradually merge in =E2=80=98master=E2=80=99.  It is excellent news tha=
t Manolis=E2=80=99
work will be able to build upon releases of Hurd/Mach/MiG.  The last
missing bit upstream is a libc-for-hurd tarball.

So please welcome Manolis again.  :-)

Manolis, Samuel: feel free to mention whatever I forgot!

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
