[9fans] Plan9 global product testing.

2019-11-11 Thread Darren Wise 
Hey Plan9'ers,

I dont post a hell of allot but am an user in my own time of Plan9 like the 
most of you.

I'd be interested to know if the users of this mailing list would be interested 
in testing a digital product I'm developing, hopefully at the end of testing it 
would introduce possible new users to plan 9 as a whole.

Really I'd just like to test the waters, I very much doubt seasoned, daily 
users would be much interested in the format as a whole for a long period of 
time and in the format presented but I think they would be at first interested 
in testing the notion and to say.. Yep, been there, tried it! While also 
utilising the product possibly still from other angles which are bred in to 
plan9 as a whole from kernel up.

But to introduce new users as it is, would be a very interesting notion which I 
have not seen prior and I'd like to see how it plays out for others. I welcome 
any feedback on the notion, open to ideas and I'm sure over a period, help 
would be needed here and there in the form of best practices, advice, on others 
of which we are all here for from time to time.

Kind regards,
Darren Wise

Re: [9fans] Ottawa Spring 2020

2019-11-11 Thread Chris McGee 
I live nearby and was considering attending BSDCan this year. How many
people do we think might be in the city around that time and interested in
a get-together? I think I count 3 or 4 at the moment.

There seemed to have been some interest about Plan 9 on Twitter among the
BSDCan groups when I did a post about it. I wonder if we they would mind
some non-BSD talks, BoF sessions at the conference itself? I think that the
call for papers deadline is in late January.

Cheers,
Chris
