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

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

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.

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

> I welcome any feedback on the notion

After reading your mail I know far less about the "notion"
than I did a couple hundred years ago.

I'm invested in learning anything at all about the digital
product in the future.
