Hi,
I was looking for some open-source implementation work to be done as my
master's project when I chanced upon the Plan 9 GSOC projects page.
My interest is in networking, so I was particularly interested in projects about
adding zeroconf networking and firewall support to Plan 9.
I think I
I think your first, best bet is to try to find out what the Plan 9
community needs, rather than adding on something that might not be the
that important. I have not heard anyone express a need for zeroconf in
Plan 9, but maybe I'm missing something.
Simple example: file systems on Plan 9 are

Simple example: file systems on Plan 9 are slow. Why is that? How do
they work? How would you go about finding out how to make them faster?
which ones? there are quite a number to choose from.
i've found that ken's fs beats the pants off nfs on similar
hardware with literally one cpu tied
personally, i think the best contributions come
from people who have a real personal need or
better want to solve a problem, solve it and
contribute the solution back to the community.
i think that's why unix and plan 9 exist at all.
so i would encourage folks who would like to
contribute to

Yes, I do agree with that.

I wasn't thinking about doing this as a GSOC project,
I wanted to do something for my master's project which
was a hardcore open-source implementation, that's why I
was going through the gsoc ideas page.
makes sense to me. i'd incourage you to work a bit with
the community. part of open
Try this - build the source to charon over a 200ms link over 9p. Then
try again over sshfs.
why would you do this? why not run the compile closer to
the source. this is the power of plan 9.
Also, look at a single terminal with a local fossil install. Trace the
path of an 'ls /'. Count the
I see your point. It does sound like zeroconf would be useful to some
people. I wonder if it could be done with a 9p orientation as eric
suggested.
I don't recall what the security issues are with zeroconf, but, if
it's the microsoft-inspired version I'm thinking of, I would guess
there are many.
I've got a replacement for sources set up. It's a new machine (an
Intel Core 2) named haggis.cs.bell-labs.com and should look like a
slightly-old copy of sources.
Please try it out and see if it looks like sources from your
perspective. You may want to change your authdom declaration for

Geoff, I did a walk of /n/sources/contrib and /n/haggis/contrib,
and the latter is missing quite a few files:

Please mail reports, good or bad, to me, not 9fans;
there's no need to add to the volume of traffic on 9fans for this.
How about we convince the mailing list software to stop

One way to make this kind of interesting is to address how you'd do a
reasonable zeroconf effort given that you need to boot 1m+ machines.
We've booted 4400*250 VMs on a machine at sandia, and, let me tell
you, it was a pain. It is

hola,
First of all, I'm really glad you are considering Plan 9 for your project,
thanks.
Can someone please discuss with me how to proceed, and what are the things
I should learn before starting on this ?
you can start by reading nemo's intro Introduction to
