The first international workshop on Plan 9 aims at bringing together researchers and developers working on Plan 9 from Bell Labs and Inferno, or working on related ideas and projects. Workshop topics will include system architecture, system services, file systems and servers, applications, projects for other platforms related to Plan 9, security issues, and others.

Honest curiosity: are there many people besides one or two project maintainers of Plan 9, and the ones working at Vita Nuova? I believe Plan 9 has some great technology, but I get the impression almost noone is picking it up; is a sufficient number of people working with it?

Maybe there are enough people learning on/with it so that it's impact on the new generation of computer scientists will be huge.
I hear LANL has a big Plan 9 cluster, and Tokyo Institute of Technology and Rey Juan Carlos Uni use it as an education system.
I think the technologies are, slowly, being picked up by Linux. Of course as ESR said, the biggest enemy of a new and better system is an old and good enough one.
