AWESOME!  I will try to round up some friends who may never have even seen
Plan 9 before as well.

If we're going to have newbies then maybe an evening installfest would be fun.

and now you are tempting me to drive out a truck full of gear, and maybe
grab a couple of friend along the way ;-)

maybe we can configure a laptop as auth+fs+cpu for new terms to boot
from or to drawterm into?

Good idea.  It might also be worthwhile to introduce
that with an overview of the roles and differences
among: Plan9, P9P, 9vx, drawterm, and Inferno, along
with some examples of how they all get used.  And
some mention of the various virtualization options
might be good to.

Artistic 9fans,

If you are interested in designing the poster for this event please
let me know; we have a couple of thoughts but are open to other
interesting ideas.  please contact me directly.

It would be great to have a friendly competition for the event poster,
and all the entries will be made available.

Thanks,
-Skip

That looks good for Troff, but does anyone have the preferred (La)TeX
macros?

  Thanks,

please use troff.  the *tex exception is for folks who just
can't.  putting the iwp9 4e's proceedings together from
preexisting pdfs was pretty difficult, error prone and required
specialized tools.

it will likely be easier to convert papers to troff than to
get the right look from *tex.

sorry for the inconvience.

Hello 9fans,

I want to clarify that ALL 9fans -- past, present and future -- are
encouraged to attend the IWP9.  Aside from the practitioners, who
typically attend, anyone who is curious about Plan 9 and wants to
attend, certainly should.
