No. Such blanket assignments have been done for a few companies, but not
for individuals, as far as I know. (I don't know why.)

Yep, I received your initial email.

I won't be able to attend (2013-08-11 to 18). Don't know about the
others. Somewhat regularely, a few of us Hurd folks have been meeting at
FOSDEM, each February, Belgium, Brussels,

Well, that's certainly more powerful than anything I have available at
home. :-)

Yes, please. Rather than remember what you've done in the past ;-), I
want you to have an actually working development environment for GCC on
GNU/Hurd natively.

That's fine, yep.

Fine, but please don't neglect your university commitments.

Not to discourage you two, but it'll take quite some effort (both design
