It was originally developed by the s ame group at Bell Labs which developed Unix and shares a clear heritage that will make many parts familiar to experienced users of other unix-li ke systems\, but in many ways represents an "\;alternate universe&qu ot\; for how Unix might have developed. While it's seen only limited com mercial use\, it has proven itself suitable to a wide range of applicati ons\, including supercomputer clusters\, network appliances\, and embedd ed systems. And as a small\, consistent system with a unifying philosoph y\, it can be interesting to study and explore even outside its practica l utility. \;\n \;\nTogether\, let's take a brief tour of this alt ernate universe's history\, what makes it exciting to people who live (o r visit) there\, the current landscape\, and where it might (or might no t!) be interesting for you. \;\n \;\nBio: \;\n \;\nAnthony S orace (he/him) is some sort of engineer. Professionally\, his work has f ocused on system architecture and process analysis\, looking at how peop le can use computers to solve (some of) their problems. On the side\, he enjoys messing about with networking\, databases\, and systems software . He is a slightly reluctant web programmer and enthusiastic cook. He ha s been using Plan 9 since the late nineteen hundreds\, a few weeks befor e starting a job at Bell Labs working with related technology\, and curr ently serves as a director of the Plan 9 Foundation\, a non-profit dedic ated to advancing research on lightweight distributed systems using thes e technologies.\n\nTags: plug\, linux\, Plan 9\n\nImported from: http:// calagator.org/events/1250482315 URL:https://pdxlinux.org/ SUMMARY:Portland Linux/Unix Group General Monthly Meeting: Plan 9 with An thony Sorace LOCATION:Portland State University Fourth Avenue Building (FAB) Room FAB 86-01: 1900 Southwest 4th Avenue\, Portland OR 97201 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
