Paul Lalonde, Secretary of the Board of Directors of the Plan 9 Foundation. Plan 9 Foundation Annual Report 2024 Glenda’s Diary Important events The theme of earlier years might have been described as “righting the ship.” This year, now that we were no longer doing major repairs, we were able to get ready to sail. The theme for the year was to build a community. - We had IWP9 in Philadelphia, and it was quite a success. More importantly, we established the cadence for conferences, always starting work on the next year’s conference at the close of this year’s conference. - We arranged for the next IWP9 in Paris, in a prestigious venue. - We are on a firm financial footing, with contributions continuing to come in each month. - We worked with 9front to get the repo into a state that people are comfortable with. - We got a mailing list going, and although usage is very light, we are getting there. - We got permission to manage 9fans, taking over that list, making it moderated, and merging it with our existing list. Because 9fans has been a continual source of reputational harm, this is a significant change. Did we achieve our 2024 goal? We assembled our community, and getting control of 9fans is important, but discussion is still light. We are overall pleased with the progress but aren’t yet seeing the impact of the change. Goals to shoot for in 2025 Grow the number of places experimenting with Plan 9 ideas. [visit unis, profs, research labs…] Provide a trivial on-ramp to Plan9. Your ideas here (yes, that means you). ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T88b1ba241b319a33-M194263c51058912156a99fd5 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
