Hi all,

On Thursday Feb. 1st (next week), Charles Forsyth will kindly give an
introduction talk to plan9 and inferno at Imperial College in London. If
you are in the London area, don't hesitate to join and to relay this
announce!

Here is the abstract:

Plan 9 and Inferno are two operating systems (originally developed by
the Bell Labs centre that produced Unix decades earlier). Both were
designed to allow systems to be composed from smaller cooperating
systems performing specific tasks.They provide structural support for
distribution, at the operating system level. Their defining novelty is
the representation of all distributable resources as hierarchical name
spaces. There are conventional names for certain resources, but no
global name space. Instead, the kernel provides operations that compose
name spaces of local and remote resources, at per-process granularity,
to build a unique space to suit a given application. That can aid
design, development, testing and integration. I'll give brief summaries
of the two operating systems, and present examples of their use, with an
emphasis on naming.

The talk is at 13:00-14:00 in amphitheatre 311 of the Huxley building,
whose entrance is at 180 Queen’s Gate, London SW7 2AZ. It is part of the
iPr0gram talk series ( https://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~rbc/iPr0gram/ ), where
people external to Imperial College are warmly welcome, please just get
in touch with Robert ( https://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~rbc/ ) beforehand if
you plan to join.

As most of you already know, Charles has made numerous contributions to
plan9 and inferno, and was instrumental in open-sourcing inferno. For
more info, check out his homepage: http://www.terzarima.net/
Please get in touch with me if you would like to have a chat with
Charles in the afternoon, I can arrange a meeting room.

Thanks,
Hugues

Yes it should be recorded, and made available online later on (I needed
confirmation before answering here).

Thanks,
Hugues
