Harvey: GPL'ed Plan 9 Demonstration and Discussion Ron Minnich, Google; John Floren, Sandia Thursday, July 9, 8:00 pm-9:00 pm, Santa Clara Ballroom
In 2013 Google, UC Berkeley, and Bell Labs arranged for Plan 9 to be rereleased under the GPL. A group of engineers in Madrid has created the Harvey project, a release of Plan 9 based on this GPL code which currently compiles using gcc, not Plan 9's proprietary compilers, and is intended to also work with clang. At this BOF, we'll demo Harvey on some real hardware, and discuss current and future plans.
