I'm not sure, but possibly. I'm involved in starting a company built
around various sorts of 24/365 on-call and contract IT and programming
services built around Open Technology. Plan 9 and Inferno will feature
in that to a significant degree. The company is In Silica, LLC. Though
it will operate under a DBA (Open Forge). The Hangar 18 project is only
one of the things we've got going. Our focus is on reliable distributed
computing, global sign on, business informatics & automation. If all
went well the paperwork hit the state's desk this afternoon. Should be
in business (technically) sometime next week.

If you would like more details please contact me directly.
