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

[Marshall Conover <marzhall.o@gmail.com>]

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!

Marshall
