Hey folks,
Sorry yesterday was quite busy for me what with 3D printing
(which I'm still finishing off over the next week) and working on
some of my racking here in my home datacenter, so please forgive
me if I'm a bit in & out this week.
As mentioned prior I'm looking to create a digital service
product to introduce new users to Plan9, I doubt we will attract
millions of new users flowing in each and every week, I even doubt
100 per year but it's an option and a service which is on-demand,
online and with global access almost on all devices.
This digital service entails the use of interacting with Plan9 as
a service via the browser which I will be hosting myself at
https://daaswise.com from within my datacentre racking, I have
some SUN, PC-clone, Mac servers and am already in the process of
providing these services to a number of people globally.
It would give possible new users a way to interact with Plan9
directly through the usual web browser and on anything from a
smartphone to tablets, laptops and of-course a home PC but not
only that on anyone else's too that maintains a data connection
and has access to the internet.
-I don't see a huge number taking the opportunity to utilise
smartphone, tablet technology simply due to them being touch
display based, but maybe someone will come up with a way to
interact at a later date, if any.
Wanted to test the service within the group for a while, iron out
some issues as I know ESXi is not going to be much help to me and
I'm not too keen on Hyper-V even though it has a lovely install
footprint, fairly simple to interact with userspace. Today, I'm
testing out my ProxMox installs and seeing how they can deliver
the service to possible users and failing that it could be a case
of a simple CentOs install(maybe) and utilising VMs from within
that like a container setup.
-Sounds like a crazy idea, but other OSs and users already do
such and I thought this would add to an even more minimal, easy
way to interact without even utilising an LiveCD or even
downloading said .iso :)
Kind regards,
Darren Wise

Will do in a little while folks, I'm just in the middle of a 90
hour 3D printing production run, so am minding the machine every
40 or so mins and working on some of my rack, getting ready to
present the digital product to you for testing.

Maybe you could tell us a little more about
the “digital product” and what it is or how it works?
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
