Even if I'm not an everyday user, Plan 9 has always surprized me in the ways it enables to do things. It's somehow like an upside down approach to the Unix world. 6 is 2/3 a 9... one may never exploit 100% Plan 9 in deepness? Also, regarding what Erik asked on 3rd January does anyone feel like debugging an infinite os?, I feel Plan 9 offers an extra-wide range of possibilities, approchoaching infinity suggested by your logo. And in the end, your logo is black (or really dark gray) and white, just like the Ed Wood movie. Thus, your logo fits well to me. Nicolas

This logo reminds of the time tunnel in the old The Time Tunnel TV show. Hollywood's idea of science fiction, mysterious endless tunnel you can't escape from is not something I associate with plan9. If anything it takes the mystery out of good OS design! To me Plan9 is closer to a bucket of Lego Technics parts (and less Pirates of Caribbean kind of Lego sets). Small, well designed, high quality parts that are highly composable, fun to play with what you can build with is limited only by your imagination. Funny how we all see something different in the same graphic!

And I think my point of view was, since I'm a big fan of Lego Technic, just expressing the wide range of things you can invent with Lego Technic parts. Nicolas
Re: [9fans] Alternative Plan 9 Logo
I wonder who could decide to adopt it on behalf of the community? As I understand it, this list is not a community, but an anarcho-syndicalist commune. In which case the executive officer for the week can decide to adopt the new logo, but all decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting, by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major (I ORDER YOU TO BE QUIET - SIGNED BOYD (RIP)). So my question is, do we need a simple majority to adopt the new logo, or will a two-thirds majority be called for?
