+# 2010
+
+This year we are again participating in [Google Summer of Code](http://socghop.appspot.com)
+under the [GNU umbrella](http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/org/show/google/gsoc2010/gnuproject).
+
+ * *[[Jeremie Koenig|jkoenig]]*, mentored by *[[Samuel
+ Thibault|samuelthibault]]*, is working on adapting the Debian Installer to
+ [produce working Debian GNU/Hurd installation
+ images](http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/student_project/show/google/gsoc2010/debian/t127230758239)
+ so we can easily offer up to date disc-sets.
+ ([Details](http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2010/HurdDebianInstaller/JeremieKoenig).)
+
+ * *[[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort|pochu]]*, mentored by *Carl Fredrik Hammar* (who
+ was a GSoC student in 2007), is working on a task that may be perceived as
+ less exciting from the outside, but yet is extremely valuable: [fixing
+ compatibility problems exposed by projects'
+ testsuites](http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/student_project/show/google/gsoc2010/gnuproject/t127230759396).
+ ([[Details|community/gsoc/project_ideas/testsuites]].)
+
+ * *[[Karim Allah Ahmed|kam]]*, mentored by *Sergio López*, is working on
+ [tuning the VM Subsystem in
+ GNU/Hurd](http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/student_project/show/google/gsoc2010/gnuproject/t127230759587)
+ to bring the virtual memory management in Hurd/Mach up to date.
+ ([[Details|community/gsoc/project_ideas/vm_tuning]].)
+
+We always ask students that want to apply for a task (in the course of the
+Google Summer of Code) to mind our distinct [[student_application_form]].
+
+Apart from our own [[project_ideas]], there are also two [Hurd-related ideas
+for X.Org](http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Hurd_Porting).
+
+As the Google Summer of Code 2010 has already started, you can no longer
+participate as a GSoC student. However,
+working on one of these projects is still a good opportunity to get started with Hurd development.
+Please read up about [[contributing]] in general;
+and feel free to ask any questions you might have at one of our [[regular_IRC_meetings|IRC#regular_meetings]].
+Generally it's a good idea to [[contact_us|communication]] when starting to work on some project.
+
+# History
+
+In 2006 and [[2007]], we participated in GSoC under the umbrella of the GNU
+project,
+getting one slot each year.
+
+In the following year, we successfully participated on our own, not only as a
+suborganization of the GNU
+project. Read about our five students' success on the [[2008]] page.
+
+The next year, we participated under the GNU umbrella with one slot again.
+Read about it on the [[2009]] page.
