[TUHS] Fwd: History tract during the next IWMP9 in Paris next May

Hi all, Edouard asked me to pass this e-mail on to both TUHS and COFF lists. Cheers, Warren ----- Forwarded message from Edouard Klein <edouardklein(a)gmail.com> ----- Subject: History tract during the next IWMP9 in Paris next May Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2024 22:46:30 +0200 (1 week, 4 days, 19 hours ago) Dear Unix history enthusiasts, The 11th International Workshop on Plan 9 will be held in Paris on May 22-24 2025. One of the focus area this year will be Plan 9's history and its influence on later computer science and industry trends. The history team at the CNAM (where the conference will be held) has agreed to help us prepare for the event and stands ready to record oral histories, or any other format that would make the participants happy. They had organized in 2017 a "colloque" at which Clem spoke (and I listened somewhere in the audience) on UNIX: https://technique-societe.cnam.fr/colloque-international-unix-en-europe-ent… I will keep the list posted as our efforts pan out, but I thought I'd get the word out as soon as possible. I you have historical resources on Plan 9 or Inferno, or are reminded of any interesting tidbits, you can also share them here, as this list is already recognized by historians as a legitimate source. The program committee members, many (if not all) of whom roam this very list, would welcome any proposal or contributions in this area :) The CfP is at: http://iwp9.org/ Looking forward to read what you care to share, or to seeing you in person in Paris, Cheers, Edouard. ----- End forwarded message -----
