inclusion in the Hurd webpages:

"We're way ahead of you here. The Hurd has always been on the cutting
 edge of not being good for anything." -- Roland McGrath

'In short: just say no to drugs and maybe you wont end up like the
 Hurd people' by Linus Torvalds.

Section: Kernel
Topic  : The GNU Hurd
Tittle : Authentication in GNU/Hurd
by     : Wolfgang Jaehrling.

a brief review..

There he is, standing in front of the auditorium, not so much people
around, but still enough faces who are ready to learn about the GNU
Hurd.

Wolfgang is not nervious at all, he stands with much confidence and
showing every now and then a shy smile, which makes the mood and the
environment a bit more confortable, finally silence makes its
appeareance, Wolfgang takes over the command and procedes to iniciate
his talk.. first he makes a short introduction about his main talk, he
talks about Remote Procedure Calls, he takes around 10 minutes for
explaining so all get a better and easy way to understand his work.

Minutes later according to the time table, he began in perfect timing,
making a small talk about security, he show us his view in a realistic
but amusing way that security is this days, making the audience feel
more close and comfortable to indentify themselves with Wolfgangs
thinking.. It's so nice the environment he created, everyone is in a
great mood, relaxed and with a smile. Some of them even impatience to
hear more about his speech.

Finally the moment arrives, Wolfgang uses a deeper voice to make clear
that the main speech has began, after this his voice changes and in a
more confident and calm way he shares with us what Authentication in
the GNU Hurd is.

                  Here the presentation:

It's is a overwhelming feeling that surrounds the auditorium, everyone
so calm hearing with attention towards to what Wolfgang says, once his
speech was over, the auditorium remained quiet, perhaps they were
expecting to know more about it, but shortly after Wolfgang decides
it's time to move on to provide more information by answering
questions, but it was no surprise at all, to see that no one had any
doubts, Wolfgangs speech was absolutely clear and precise, therefore a
silence took over the place, a confortable satisfying silence.

Wolfgang ends up his presentantion very proud, and procedes to amuses
the public by attempting to ask the auditorium about his talk, this
moment was followed by the last smiles that the public could offer to
Wolfgang.

Wolfgang returns to his place, his face looks so calm but inside of
him the proud feeling to have achieved something great.  After all The
GNU Hurd is a great project.
