Hi,
When do you think the next live CD demo will be available?
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.
Hi Syd,
I can't speak with any authority, but I agree that implementing a Plan 9 application runtime environment/personality on Genode would be an interesting project.
It might be worth noting that a Japanese team have already ported the userland to run on top of an L4 microkernel, and released the result at http://research.nii.ac.jp/H2O/LP49/LP49-e.html.
I don't know what would be necessary to further adapt that work to run on Genode - although I contemplated trying to do so, a few years ago, as part of a project that I was working on.

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.

Hello Syd,
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?

running Plan 9 on Genode is certainly a interesting idea but there are no current plans on our side to approach this - at least in running Plan 9 itself on top of Genode (as in replacing the kernel with Genode). However if anyone is interested in porting 9vx or creating something like L4Plan9 (similar to L4Linux) to provide a “hosted” Plan 9 environment we would encourage it. That being said implementing a service for Plan 9 like we did with noux for POSIX is perhaps also feasible. But than again plan9port might already run in noux.
In the end we are more interested in the underlying concept(s) behind/in Plan 9 than its concrete implementation.
FWIW, being a Plan 9 user myself I put porting drawterm(1) to Genode on my personal todo-list :-)
Cheers, Josef
