Mailing Lists

9FANS

9fans is a list for discussion about Plan 9 and related technologies.

To subscribe you can send an email to 9fans-request@9fans.net with "subscribe 9fans" as the body or use the web form at: http://mail.9fans.net/listinfo/9fans

An unidirectional gateway forwards all 9fans emails to the Usenet group comp.os.plan9; this used to be a bidirectional gateway, but seems to be broken, so please only post to 9fans directly and not to comp.os.plan9.

Please avoid sending messages containing MIME or HTML.

GSOC

We have two mailing lists specific to Google Summer of Code:

• plan9-gsoc is open to anyone interested in participating in GSoC specific discussions. All student progress reports go here. This is also an ideal spot for students to get feedback on their ideas in a more focused way than 9fans (although if you want maximum exposure and technical feedback, consider posting it there, too).
• plan9-gsoc-mentors This list is for mentors, prospective mentors, and the like. Some discussion happens here as the selection period goes on, as well as in the event of any issues during the summer, but mostly it's for reminders of evaluation deadlines and the like.

9TROUBLE

You can also email 9trouble@plan9.bell-labs.com for support or report bugs. But probably using 9fans is a better idea as the persons taking care of 9trouble are usually very busy.

INFERNO-LIST

Vita Nuova runs an Inferno Mailing List for the discussion related to the Inferno operating system and the Limbo programming language.

To subscribe to the list, send a message to inferno-list-request@vitanuova.com, including the word "subscribe" in the subject or body of the message.

List archives:
