Hi, I'm new to Plan 9. I learnt about it when I found out the P9F was founded, here https://plan9foundation.org/activities.html there is "Preparing for a new release, including patches <http://9legacy.org/patch.html>" since like first half of last year, but then nothing, and I see nothing about who is in the foundation. So, where can I find informations about them? I see "changes" points to 9legacy, but I also read in this mailing list that the GSoC work was done on 9front, so on which release is the foundation working on? 9legacy or 9front?

The page reads, "Last update: 2022-01-18", and there are a large number of patches depicted. 

It seems 9legacy has been very active, http://9legacy.org/download/9legacychecksums.txt, and had a recent release.

I surmise that Plan 9 Foundation is supporting 9Legacy.  However, I could be wrong and often am.

First, welcome :)

I'm in this community for a few years and I can tell you, I don't know. 
It's what I was asking a year ago and more info than what's on their site 
is not really public.

They state they "promote" all Plan 9 related stuff (explicitly not 
mentioning 9front), and they prepare a release (where, what). Otherwise 
they only link to 9legacy and legacy 9 stuff.

9front has nothing to do with plan9foundation at all, they're completely 
independent. If you want to find out more about it, devs are quite open 
and you can say hello in #cat-v at irc.oftc.net or the 9front mailing 
list.

I don't know about GSoC projects.

Thank you sirjofri, I'm sorry to see that this is the state of affairs... I'll surely try 9front.
