I have to go on co-op in two years... maybe I'll apply to Google, saying
"You know, I have a really good idea for Gmail...  If you hire me, I can
do it."
The response, when they find out what I did:  "We paid you to write an
interface for WHAT operating system?!" :-)

You tell them that it's for all 9p speaking systems. That includes linux now with v9fs, hopefully with Alan Cox [FreeBSD Alan Cox], anything that can use Tim Newsham's Python 9p implementation, etc. :)

It's not as obscure as it once was. I've seen talk of adding it to OpenBSD as well as a translation layer for DragonFlyBSD's native VFS messaging [well I proposed that one but god knows when I'll have time for that]

Anyone interested in adding 9p to NetBSD? :)

We'll just spread out like a virus and take over. ;-)
