Here is a second cut on the bibliographies...

Please note that I removed the crossrefs from the previous versions because
they are causing the tools to freeze.  Also, this will facilitate converting
them to refer (a 9fans users request).  I was not able to copy/paste all the
bibliographies because some of the papers trashed the past buffer (probably a
unicode problem).  Last, but not least, a muscle-memory key sequence which
saves a file in my editor just happens to be the same key sequence which cuts
all selected items and saves them in one of the database tools I am using.  It
is possible that I have inadvertently lost some of the items. (WHAT A
PAIN!!!!).  So if you find any missing entries, please let me know...

Please send me any corrections, updates, etc.

  Best regards,

  EBo --

	bother to plan for their file server connections to fail. These programs
	must be restarted when a connection does fail. If the kernel’s
	connection to the root file server fails, the machine must be rebooted.
	This approach suffices only because lost connections are rare. Across
	long distance networks, where connection failures are more common,
	it becomes woefully inadequate. To address this problem, we wrote
	a program called recover, which proxies a 9P session on behalf of
	a client and takes care of redialing the remote server and reestablishing
	connection state as necessary, hiding network failures from the client.
	This paper presents the design and implementation of recover, along

	to multiplex name spaces efficiently. Another key Plan 9 concept
	is the 9P file protocol, and its uniform application to all resources
	– stored files and devices. The Shared Name Space system is a technique
	to dynamically manage name spaces exported by a group of users into
	an aggregate name space, and reflect it back to each group member.
	The net effect is a mechanism for providing a virtual network service
	that competes favorably with peer-to- peer networks, or central-storage
	file sharing and has advantages over both. Although currently the
	only resources that are sharable are stored files, the system allows
	sharing of other types of resources in the future. These would include
	mouse, keyboard, and display, making services such as remote desktop
	access or on-line collaboration and conferencing possible. The Rangboom
	Adhoc Virtual Networks service is a commercial endeavor based on
	this technology. It provides remote file access and file sharing
	service to broadband Internet users. It is initially targeted for

	in a transparent way, keeping all other software unaware of the new

	directly, without having to emulate existing network types. In supercomputer
	environments, applications often use the network hardware directly,

	to make good use of the specialized networks too, in order to build
	fault-tolerant distributed services. Our kernel must therefore mediate

[9fans] iwp9.org (Re: BibTex collections of all 4 proceedings)

[Jonas Amoson]

I am thinking of the durability of the URL:s for the
various IWP9 articles. if www.iwp9.org will be reused
for further hosting, a subdirectory (as in 'papers/4e/')
might be a good idea.I suppose that some domain bloat
is hard to avoid, when things are so decentralised ;-)

i've made everything from iwp9 4e available at
http://4e.iwp9.org.  none of the relative urls have

no firm decision yet on if old links will need to be
broken to allow iwp9.org to be the "current" iwp9.

Me too. I thought 4 was great.

I keep wanting to have a workshop here:
http://www.naturebridge.org/headlands/conference-facilities

It's stunning and SF is right over the bridge. This time around we
could emphasize hacking more than talks, and let people show us what
they've got. Would love to see the disconnected 9p stuff in action,
for example.

Actually, the big question to start is: what are people willing to
pay? We have a lot of students, for example. IWP9 4 was a bargain.

I've had one experience with a workshop priced out of people's ability
to reach or pay (coreboot 2008 in denver) and don't want to make that
mistake again.

I figure Marin Headlands ought to be cheap (dormitory housing!) but
very attractive (right at the Golden Gate!). I confess I have not had
a workshop here, ever.

Do we have some idea of what people can afford? Another option is to
have it right in SF, but that again starts to look pricey ($165/night
minimum, cheap for you euro-spending guys but ...)

Send me a note off-list with what you think is affordable. I'm getting
close to being willing to host.

Hum... seems you're not listening to euro related news... Not to say
that in some months, euro will have probably disappeared ;)

I would be very interested in attending IWP9, but whatever the location
is, it will be probably out of my financial reach, combining travel and
accomodations.

I think that I'm not the only one in this case: definitively no lack of
interest; but lack of means---and lack of vision even for some months
ahead.

Mail doesn't replace face to face meeting. But even for the ones not
attending, the published papers remain!

So thank to the ones having made or undertaking the task to make such
events: we will directly or indirectly benefit from them.

how about Seattle?  i have looked into conference facilities provided
by the Port of Seattle, and they seem reasonably priced.  there are
several locations, but the least expensive will be the conference
rooms at the airport.  for 60 or less people a room like the London
conference room will be adequate (see the link below).  Port of
Seattle provides free WiFi at the airport and there's good coverage.
There are many hotels within walking distance.  The Link Light Rail
runs from SeaTac to downtown Seattle (20 hours/day, at least every
15 minutes).

if i could get an approximate count i can get a good estimate for cost
of facilities + lunch/soft drinks.

I actually like seattle that time of year anyway.

Is seattle a one-hop place from Europe? I am sure it is from the
important spots on the pacific rim ... this is an interesting
suggestion!

I do know that there are many surprisingly cheap one-hop flights from
paris, frankfurt, etc. to san francisco.

I do not know about you but when I go to a conference I actually go FOR
the conference.  If we really wanted pretty we should hold it in
conjunction with some university that has both a good computer science
department and a fashion department, and then do a Plan9 wearable computer
fashion show!  I think that would be prettier than staring at this mug
(speaking strictly for myself ;-)

I think athens won big on cheap and pretty, and I also think we all
felt the host (i.e. coraid) was fantastic.

It was somewhat inconvenient to get to, and people had to pay the cost
of a rental car.

I would not object to going there again, however. But it's also nice
to be in a city convenient to a different part of the world each year.
Seattle and SF are good for our friends on the pacific rim.

So the suggestion of non-athens locations should not be taken (at
least on my part) as springing from any negative feelings about last
year's meeting :-)

If folks are interested in Los Angeles (West Hollywood), I could host
here. Our office has a really nice A/V setup and room to seat 30-40
comfortably. LA isn't attractive because everything is spread out.
However, there are reasonable and inexpensive accommodations within
walking distance. And LA also has the advantage of an easy-to-reach
from abroad airport. Of course, it's not exactly pretty here. ;-)

i believe it had the best combination for a US location. conference,
accommodation, hang out places and entertainment all within
walking distance to each other, priced very reasonably.

well, it was not that far away from a very busy international airport with
convenient shuttles (except for you ron, who got in pretty late).

having seen many places in US (conference towns like Vegas, pretty
cities like SF, Boston etc), Athens imo provided the best combination
of everything for a 'non-sponsored' conference (and a terrific host).

I think RIT would probably let us hold IWP9 on campus here in Rochester.

Advantages:
*Plenty of auditoriums and a university interested in hosting such things
*Lots of hotels in the area (Radisson right at the edge of campus)
*3 miles from the airport
*Variety of places to eat in town
*The bar right near campus has ~50 beers on tap, plenty of other great
bars a bit farther away
*Rochester is pretty cheap all around

Disadvantages:
*Weather in late fall/early winter can range from pleasant to blizzard
*Most people would have to fly in via Chicago, Atlanta, Dulles, or NYC.


The weather's not as pleasant as Athens, and it doesn't have the same
great concentration of bars and restaurants *right* on campus, but I
think RIT would be willing to host the conference. Plus, I wouldn't
have to buy plane tickets :)

OSDI is in Vancouver in October, might be more justifiable as a

"adjoined" -- it would at least be down to a single airfare.

I got burned doing that for coreboot due to the cost of the "parent"
workshop. I think IWP9 has to be cheap. Usenix meetings are not cheap.
Given that this IWP9 is going to be less formal, I think we'd best
keep it separate.

While we're at "just sayin"; from what I hear on #9fans, there still
is some interest to have that one happening in europe. So if you guys
from the other side of the pond think you would come, I could poke
around and see if I can get it hosted here, here being Grenoble, fr,
somewhere on the university campus.
Grenoble is not what I would call pretty, but the campus is nice
enough, and well you've got the Alps nearby to enjoy. 1 hour away by
train/bus/cab from Lyon St-Exupery Airport, or 3 hours away from Paris
(airports).

Well, I'm in Annecy (Haute-Savoie, France) so, for sure, an european
located twin event will be more doable.

But no solution will be the best for everyone.

Is there a survey about the geo-localization of 9fans around the earth?
I guess there is a higher density in north America.

Kudos for the ones trying to organize these. I was engaged in the first
RMLL, and it is for sure work...

In fact, I misread initially the proposal, reading in Europe/Grenoble
for the ones unable to attend "the other side of the pond" instead of
putting the event in Europe.

Except if there is a oil rig in the middle of Atlantic (and this will
not take into account Asia...), one side or the other, there will be no
universal "best".

The best is near a highly busy hub, since a "nearer" but less used spot
can increase significantly the travel costs.

As said before, since I will unlikely be able to attend, my own living
location has not to be taken into account.

Skip and I have been talking offline. I do think seattle is looking
better and better.

- hub city
- good mass transit to a likely meeting place AND hotels right from the airport
- huge range of hotels, with some good low cost ones
- supportive organization for the meeting

and, finally, I may be wrong but it seems a good middle ground time
and space wise (and time-zone wise; everyone will be jet-lagged but
me) for both the pacific rim and the folks from the EU.

The Marin guys did get back to me and it would be cheap but I'm not
sure everyone will want to go for a bunkhouse, and the mass transit
issue to the headlands is a problem.

that looks very plausible, but it doesn't actually work,
as awk doesn't coelesce short reads (it gets short
reads from the pipe)

this works a little better:

bs=1474560
{for(i in `{seq 0 `{ls -l $file | awk '{print

but there's still a little annoyance - if the file size is an exact
multiple of the block size, it will generate an unnecessary zero-length
file at the end.

i tried to fix it to get rid of this, but ran hard up against awk's

sometimes what should work, doesn't.  that (and the whitespace)

good point. i should have worked that out!

it's not the first time i've been caught out by %g - perhaps
the default precision of %g should be 12 or more. at any
rate, seq's default format should be %.12g or better.

here's a version that works a bit better (also using seq -w so
that you can do "cat $file.*" to reassemble it)

{for(i in `{seq -w 0 `{ls -l $file | awk '{print int((int($6) - 1) /

split(1) is pretty informative.  in Þe auncien[t] dais, it was sometimes hard
to send big files by email or fit them on floppies or 9 track tapes.

Do you mean what's it's use?  I'm no unix (or Plan 9) elder, but I think it's a file-based implementation of what some text editors call folding.

Not a trivial function.  Before I knew about split (or unix csplit) I encountered this need so often I wrote an awk script to do it.  Talk about reinventing the wheel.  I even named the script 'chsplit'.  Sheesh.

Incidentally gas I don't see the harm in "-b bytes".  (Not that I have the time to add that.)

It's going to be decided by whatever person makes the effort to set it up.

seattle or SFO are not that bad on a direct flight. A few more hours

I think Skip and I and the other guys who are doing the work are
settling on seattle. The site of the meeting is still not fixed. But
the airport has great connections and great mass transit to a nice
downtown; the hotel prices are great; it's a very nice city to meet
in; and, well, nobody has come up with anything better than Skip came
up with.

That's my current take on it. I'm also proposing that we go with more
of a "work" workshop format, i.e. people bring guruplugs and other
cool hardware and we have sessions like
using jtag on your plan 9 plug computer
and other such down 'n dirty stuff, and people actual do lots of

I do not like Boston as a destination.  The last four times I've travelled there, or through there, I've been stuck overnight in the airport.  As far as I'm concerned, tread carefully when flying through Logan.  Boston itself can be enjoyable, and the surrounding pirtions of the North East are nice.  It's just Logan that seems to curse me.

I'd offer up Chicago or Evanston, IL, and could coordinate arrangements as needed--there's a fantastic brewery not far from Fermi Lab and Argonne for long distant road trips.  But I think a shift to someplace with better connections for our european/southern hemisphere/pacific participants would be better.  Aka, I've been preparing for travel since the last IWP9.

cool!  I just discovered a new embedded system which looks SO cool
<http://www.acmesystems.it/> and has the bare essentials that makes it ripe

there was a lot of great participation through the

I'm not currently living in Albuquerque, but I've lived there maybe half
my life.  I am also on the board of directors of a small non-profit which
operates out of Albuquerque and I have some interesting connections that
might be able to help at least set things up.  One of these connections is
an old friend who is a professional conference organizer for the Marriott.


In addition to the Balloon Fiesta, there are other potentially interesting
venues for day-trips such as one of the worlds largest trams (runs to a
10,000 foot mountain peak), wildlife refuges, Old Town, Pueblos, and for
the geekier there is Kirtland AFB, Sandia National Labs, and various tech
centers.  If we did not have the conference in a big hotel like the
Marriott, maybe we could get the HPCC at UNM to give us access to
conference rooms, etc. (which would likely cut down on expenses).

Ron's comment on cost is important to note, but possibly more important is
that it becomes almost impossible to find ANY accommodations in the area at
that time.

So, if you were serious about this I take a look into it and find out what
it would take.

If I thought people would actually come, I would see if I could organize
something in Ouray Colorado.  It is about 300 miles north of Albuquerque
in the San Juan Mountains.  You get there by first flying to Denver,
Phoenix, or Albuquerque, then catching a puddle-hopper to Montrose and
then renting a car or catching a shuttle to go the remaining 35 miles to
Ouray.  I think it fails the "transport hub" test but it would be
equally
inconvenient for everyone and the hotel rates are cheap in October.

Do you live in that neck of the woods?

ROFLOL!

This reminds me back in the 90's when they were rebuilding I25 through
Albuquerque and the I24/I40 interchange.  Things were a mess, and us locals
called the construction zone the orange barrel raceway.  Well, to break the
frustration one of the local radio stations hosted a competition where the
winner won an All Expenses Paid Vacation to Gimon Oklahoma where the orange
barrels are made.  To top things off, a farmer named Joe picked them up at
the regional airport in a tractor, and took them on the 40 minute ride to
their motor lodge hospitality suite.  I believe that the mayor gave them a
key to the city outhouse or something, and they were the guest judge for
the local chilli cooking contest...

I think if we really tried hard we could find a fun and completely
unacceptable locations.  My vote would be Illfeld New Mexico (population
~75), where I served my blacksmithing apprenticeship.  I think the only
public accommodations at all is the RV park 6 miles down the road.  No, we
would likely be pitching tents and hauling water ;-)

Yes.  There aren't many tech people around here and I think it would
be great to get a group of Plan 9 people here.  However, since that is
unlikely, I am figuring out if I can make it to Seattle this year. I
have a client in Eugene Oregon that I visit and Seattle isn't that much
further.

True, then we can maybe move the venue to Los Cruses, Truth or
Consequences, or maybe even Hatch (and right about time for the chili
festival) ;-)  I know an odd hole-in-the-wall biker bar down the road from
hatch that serves the WORST food imaginable...  I do not think I have any
connections to Spaceport America, but could give it a fly ;-)
