I don't think official get togethers exist any more :)

In any case, if this thing goes well, I doubt it will be the last
one to happen. A few people have wanted an excuse to visit Japan,
for example..

And I'm a regular BSDCan attendee, so it's fairly likely I'd show
up to a meeting there if one happened.

For BSDCan I say "unofficial" specifically because an "official"
BOF as part of BSDCan would require conference registration.  An
"unofficial" BOF would be off-site (we can just meet at the usual
pub) the day after the conference ends.

If we want to see what people have been doing with Plan 9, isn't it better
to facilitate for the people that want to expose their work?

This sounds good to me, either Ottawa or Montreal. I've never been to
BSDCan. Could the meetup be part of the conference itself or would it need
to be separately arranged?

Ottawa is only about a 2 hour drive from Montreal and the train is
relatively cheap.

(If there's enough people in the area and an interest in an unofficial

Hi all! We've gotten a few crude suggestions. While they weren't
ill-intentioned, please make sure you're not saying stuff that's
inappropriate at a workplace level. If you're not comfortable with
that requirement, or aren't sure if you should suggest something,

Hi All!

Next, I'm thinking it's probably best to ask for location suggestions
for consideration and research. I've made a google doc:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13DHIIlFQzMsDJ2fhx18cK6AmpJlBlOICVDZMb63xz7k/edit?usp=sharing

Feel free to add any locations that sound like a good idea to you.
Also feel free to add your name behind a location you'd be happy to go
to if someone has already suggested it.

This isn't meant to be the final round of voting; once we have
locations, we'll do some digging to see what's available in those
areas. Once we know that, we'll probably do a more serious poll for
attendees and a ranked-choice vote on location.

Let me know if there are any thoughts, concerns, or questions!

Thanks!

Marshall

Hi All!

The poll's here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/stories/SM-YX9F7TC7/

Looks like we've got roughly 20 who would certainly attend, and maybe
5-10 additional based on location and what's available.

There's also a decent set of topics for discussion and events in the polling.

That sounds, to me, like enough people to at least entertain the idea,
and a fairly reasonable and manageable size from the perspective of
planning and execution.

Thanks!

Count me out, I will probably be unable to attend.

But I will help with some money (and I definitively consider the plan9

Yes, I think that's mostly what's needed right now: Who's interesetd,
and where they are.  It's important to know if we're looking for a

it's important for venue selection.

That's a good point. A ranked-choice deal based on locations would be better.
Like you said, this is best just for a first-pass headcount - and
having the countries
people are in + their answer of how far they'd like to travel should
hopefully help give
a head-start on getting the list of actual potential venues down for
later polls. I also
have no idea what I'm doing.

> I would be willing to kick in some $$$ to help pay to have the event streamed.

Streaming is a great idea! One person's suggested they'd like to have coding
going through the event as well, so that may also be a good way to keep
tele-attenders involved.

In the mean time, thanks for all who've voted so far! I figure I'll
give it a day and then
send the results out and see what people think.

The survey seems more cute than useful. E.g. there's a *big*
difference between "travel a couple of hours" and "anywhere."  And
even though it's close by, I wouldn't consider travel to the US (a
couple of hours) due to the insanity involved in getting through
US immigration, whereas I would consider travel to Europe (~9 hours).
Asia would be out, due to travel time and cost.

But as a general gauge of initial interest it's certainly useful.

Sadly, while I'd love to go, 2020 doesn't look like a year where
I'll be doing much travelling :-(  But I would be willing to kick

Re: [9fans] Request for (constructive?) comments: Plan 9 : 2020

[Marshall Conover]

While that might be about right, maybe it'd be better if we polled to
see for interest, and also got a good idea of where people live to
help get insight on where to host.

In that vein, here's a poll: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VJNQYGC

You can select level of interest; add your name, email, zipcode and
country code so we get the geographical distribution; suggest some
topics for panels you might be interested in; and weigh in on whether
we should continue using a thread on this mailing list for future
discussion or continue things in separate emails, in case uninterested
parties don't want to keep seeing emails about this topic.

Thoughts?

A new IWP9 would be great, and I'd be happy to help out in the
preparation if needed and wanted, e.g. reading submissions, helping
with troff formatting of papers or such (although no expert really).
Regarding location, I'd try to attend anywhere suggested. The more
important here is that some people are taking the initiative. Although
anywhere Europe would be much closer to where I am, I think that the
place might be more of an issue if it would happen more frequently than
every five year :-)

I will very probably be unable to attend but I could help with some
money (don't expect thousands of dollars or other currency; but I will
be probably able to help with some hundreds).

The general idea of teaming up to address issues/bugs or add features is
some sort of hackathon.

I'd be interested in attending, and I don't mind taking some time to
help organize.

Some of us have also been talking about planning an OpenBSD-style
hackathon.  (OpenBSD hackathons: Get developers in a room, and write
code for a week, exchanging ideas, trying to get commits into base and
ports.  Beer is usually involved.)

We'd discussed putting together something like that for Plan 9 in the
first half of 2020. Anyone hacking on Plan 9 related code would be
welcome.

I don't know if this is a different suggestion so much as a different
event.  Experience implies that merging the two together may be a bit
too much in one shot.

Expect a post about that when we start sorting out the details.

I'd be happy to volunteer some hours setting things up. I'd love to hear a
talk on mycroftiv's grid, as well.

It would be awesome to see this happen :)
