Hi all,

Jeff (jas) and I have been chatting about organizing a "Plan 9 : 2020"
workshop.  We're trying to gauge everyone's interest, and to solicit agenda
items, venue suggestions, and hopefully volunteers to help organize it.

Agenda (roughly):
Aside from moral support and camaraderie, one main goal would be to team up
with 9fans to plan and start work on some longstanding issues and
(to-be-determined) feature requests.

There will be a call for papers on completed or works-in-progress for Plan
9 (all flavors), 9P, P9P and related projects.  There has been some
interesting adoption of Plan 9 ideas which may be worth including in a
"State of Plan 9" of some sort. The circumstances alone beg a paper on
"9P2020".

It would also be an opportunity to discuss the latest trends in technology
and how they may benefit Plan 9's development.

Venue:
As for venue, Jeff is willing to host it at his Hanger 9 (a real hanger,
with airplanes) in Kenosha, WI. He will have high speed connectivity and a
Plan 9 network.  Accommodations in the area will most likely be cheaper too.

If you have a different suggestion, or are willing to offer a venue, please
comment.

Sponsorship:
Yes, please?
Volunteering to help plan, organize, or help with the costs would be great.
As in past workshops, this will be a labor of love for all involved.

Please comment here with your interest and suggestions for the agenda,
venue, sponsorship/volunteering, etc (or other creative ideas).

Thanks,
-Skip
