Re: about GNU Hurd

I don't think so. Google's SoC is designed to help finance one student to work on a specific task within a project. With a Hurd-specific fund, you would be able to to choose specifically where to spend the money for it to be the most beneficial to the Hurd. You'd also be able to finance work by developers who may not be elligible for SoC. It's a completely different system.

Before jumping the gun, you might want to see how this year's
Hurd-related Google Summer of Code project works out in the end.
