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=E2=80=99s Gate, London SW7 2AZ.= It is part of the iPr0gram talk series ( https://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~rbc/iPr0gram/ ), where people exte= rnal 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
