Congrats on getting this done.  It's not an easy thing and the work that
went into it is appreciated.

It's been pointed out to me that the text didn't match the
helpfully-automatically-added link. What the text says is
correct, of course.

Should've stuck to nedmail!

This is great news, but just before I start throwing money your
way, it would be nice to know what you're planning to do with it.
Other than the announcements about the creation of the foundation
itself, and now this, it as been pretty much radio silence about
what you're planning to get up to.

Also, what's the difference between plan9foundation.org and p9f.org?

Both of the domains belong to the Plan 9 Foundation; p9f.org is mainly
focused on sources and plan9foundation.org is for the public
information about the organization and governance. Selecting
"Activities" from the top menu at plan9foundation.org will show what
P9F has done so far (https://plan9foundation.org/activities.html).
P9F is organizing the IWP9 2024.
