They were at the Nuernberg embedded fare. At the moment they migrate the x86
base to Arm. They got 2-3 students for that to work.

Kickstarter works because the people on Kickstarter are interested in
whatever the project is producing. A book, a video game, other
products. Plan 9 has a small community and an even smaller number of

coreboot got rejected too and we had 5 years in a row. Don't feel bad.
I think they're trying to make sure that they don't get the same

Unfortunately, Plan 9 was not selected to participate in

make that and report back (it hasn't been scheduled
