[9fans] plan9 going to Hangar 18.

[Russ Cox]

Just a heads up.  After over 12 years of
leading the Plan 9 effort, we have finally
figured out that we just don't "get it."
About two months ago, after the last flame
war that finally showed us the error of our
ways, we started working with Hangar 18 to
transition all Plan 9 related development
activities to them.  The remaining lawyers
at Lucent have agreed to grant them a
non-transferable, non-exclusive license to
the Plan 9 technology, and hence-forth they
will be the main focal point around which
further Plan 9 related efforts will
revolve.  From now on, Jim Choate
(ravage@einstein.ssz.com) is the main
contact for all Plan 9 questions or issues.
Don't email 9trouble@plan9.bell-labs.com
anymore.  That just routes to /dev/null
until Jim can get igor finished.

We made the decision to pass the reigns to
Hangar 18 because of their outstanding track
record of community contribution and their
clear, articulate vision of how Plan 9 can
help to mold the future of the world.  We
feel confident that they will provide an
excellent framework for others to build on.
We knew we were right when, after formally
closing the deal online, Hanger 18 sent each
of us a beautifully embroidered golf shirt
with the worlds, "tact sucks" emblazoned in
red across the front.

As for us?  We'll go back to trying to port
Windows XP to ken's toaster.

It's been a wild ride, and it was fun while
it lasted.

that news was of course being held over until tomorrow, after
the markets closed, just in case no one
believed it because of the date, but it's just as you say.

Uncle Cosmo, why do they call this a word processor?
It's simple, Skyler.  You've seen what food processors do to food, right?
