I can't make it, but I'd be most appreciative if someone who can attend
would record this talk Ron.

Either way, I'm excited to hear more!

 I'm giving a talk at Usenix in Santa Clara in 2 weeks on u-root, and I'll
 be setting up a Plan 9 BOF (assuming there is room) with a difference:
 we're going to demo the GPL'ed Plan 9 code base booting on a small amd64
 cluster (assuming it's working by then!). The system is built with gcc,
 although some of us are advocating moving to clang. A full build of all
 libraries, binaries, and kernels takes about 2-3 minutes. It's now possible
 to debug the kernel, including setting breakpoints and examining
 structures, with gdb when you are running under qemu. If you're at Usenix
 drop on by and see what you think.

 If you want to know more you can contact me off-list.

 Thanks
