The Microkernel devroom -- unfortunately! -- did not get accepted by
Google for GSoC 2018.  :-(


The Hurd can still participate under the GNU umbrella, but...

... we'll need mentors for that.  I'll wait if somebody speaks up to
commit to that, and only then ask to again get us listed on
<https://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas-2018.html>.

Neither will I.  :-/

Nevertheless, I did register with GNU to be a mentor so that I get access
to the GSoC web page, and I'll check from time to time if any
Hurd-related applications come in.
