Re: [9fans] new usb implementation

[jt@0xabadba.be]

Dear Geoff,

   This is great news!  I'm new to plan 9 and am now finishing the
port for the OLPC XO.  I've read the manual pages on "How to
Contribute."  It states I should ask for a space from you.  What does
that entail?  I hope everything is well.  Plan9 has made me ecstatic
about OS again!  I find myself creating bsd patches during the day and
wondering how things could be done differently.  Now I see :)

thanks so much
