The Plan 9 Operating System was recently ported to the Raspberry Pi single-board computer. Meanwhile, Genode now works on the Pandaboard single-board computer. Plan 9 is compatable with the Inferno OS, while Genode works with other novel OSs. So, have you ever considered running the Plan 9 Operating System on Genode? Such multi-porting of Plan 9 could act to revitalise this unique OS - and may give Genode a wider audience.
If you try this, please be aware of the license issues. Basically you cannot distribute the resulting binaries. Plan9 is licensed under Lucent Public License Version 1.02 which is probably not compatible with GPL due to the choice of law clause.
