	We discussed the current status of the Debian port to GNU Hurd. Kapil was using GNU/Hurd 3 years ago and he narrated the steps he had to take in installing using crosshurd and how he could not get it working when he had to move to a new hardware. We concluded that for GNU/Hurd to get more people it has to run on the current hardware if not the cutting edge ones. Ongoing work of writing glue code to Linux/FreeBSD device driver framework is a step in the right direction. We hoped to demo Xorg 7.0 working with GNU/Hurd but the k14 snapshot was not ready by that time. We hope it will be available soon.		We discussed the current status of the Debian port to GNU Hurd.

	We had users from days of potato and woody and it was exciting to listen to their stories of installation using floppies. We also discussed the problems we had to face with the Xorg migration. Some issues with apt-proxy like failing to get a package without restarting apt-proxy at times.
