A new IWP9 would be great, and I'd be happy to help out in the
preparation if needed and wanted, e.g. reading submissions, helping
with troff formatting of papers or such (although no expert really).
Regarding location, I'd try to attend anywhere suggested. The more
important here is that some people are taking the initiative. Although
anywhere Europe would be much closer to where I am, I think that the
place might be more of an issue if it would happen more frequently than
every five year :-)

?I suggest we do it somewhere in Europe. I have the impression most 
active users are here.

I don't think official get togethers exist any more :)

In any case, if this thing goes well, I doubt it will be the last
one to happen. A few people have wanted an excuse to visit Japan,
for example..

And I'm a regular BSDCan attendee, so it's fairly likely I'd show
up to a meeting there if one happened.

Yes, I think that's mostly what's needed right now: Who's interesetd,
and where they are.  It's important to know if we're looking for a
space to host 10 people or 1000 people, or something in between --
it's important for venue selection.

I'd be interested in attending, and I don't mind taking some time to
help organize.

Some of us have also been talking about planning an OpenBSD-style
hackathon.  (OpenBSD hackathons: Get developers in a room, and write
code for a week, exchanging ideas, trying to get commits into base and
ports.  Beer is usually involved.)

We'd discussed putting together something like that for Plan 9 in the
first half of 2020. Anyone hacking on Plan 9 related code would be
welcome.

I don't know if this is a different suggestion so much as a different
event.  Experience implies that merging the two together may be a bit
too much in one shot.

Expect a post about that when we start sorting out the details.

Hi all,

Jeff (jas) and I have been chatting about organizing a "Plan 9 : 2020"
workshop.  We're trying to gauge everyone's interest, and to solicit agenda
items, venue suggestions, and hopefully volunteers to help organize it.

Agenda (roughly):
Aside from moral support and camaraderie, one main goal would be to team up
with 9fans to plan and start work on some longstanding issues and
(to-be-determined) feature requests.

There will be a call for papers on completed or works-in-progress for Plan
9 (all flavors), 9P, P9P and related projects.  There has been some
interesting adoption of Plan 9 ideas which may be worth including in a
"State of Plan 9" of some sort. The circumstances alone beg a paper on
"9P2020".

It would also be an opportunity to discuss the latest trends in technology
and how they may benefit Plan 9's development.

Venue:
As for venue, Jeff is willing to host it at his Hanger 9 (a real hanger,
with airplanes) in Kenosha, WI. He will have high speed connectivity and a
Plan 9 network.  Accommodations in the area will most likely be cheaper too.

If you have a different suggestion, or are willing to offer a venue, please
comment.

Sponsorship:
Yes, please?
Volunteering to help plan, organize, or help with the costs would be great.
As in past workshops, this will be a labor of love for all involved.

Please comment here with your interest and suggestions for the agenda,
venue, sponsorship/volunteering, etc (or other creative ideas).

Thanks,
-Skip
