EuroBSDCon Recap/*BSD Fund info session, Patrick McEvoy

During this talk, I will cover: - hardware we saw at EuroBSDCon - the hallway track - general community involvement post-pandemic growth - the NYC*BUG cabinet at NYI video repository

Because the community has been donating funds for hardware, I also thought this would be a good time to cover how these funds are being spent. We are shooting for the best bang for our Buck/Euro while growing a reliable suite of hardware to use for community benefit and reduced training time for volunteers.

Jonas Amoson: Porting the Netsurf web browser to Plan 9

Netsurf is a browser initially designed for RiscOS, but it has been ported to many other operating systems. It's more capable than the browsers shipped with Plan 9, which makes it an interesting target for porting.

This talks describes the steps needed to port the Netsurf browser to plan 9, including changes made to the environment, tool chain, and build system.

Noam Preil and Sigrid: Ghostbusters

pdffs is a Plan9-native, clean, and maintainable PDF reader and writer. It aims to replace ghostscript. This talk presents a status report and summary of remaining work.

Andrew D. Gibson: MIPS Rides Again

MIPS is a CPU architecture that has been with plan 9 from the beginning, but there is little hardware available that 9front currently runs on.

This talk describes the process of porting 9front to new, accessible MIPS hardware, the challenges, and what remainsto be done.

Geoff Collyer: Plan 9 on 64-bit RISC-V

We have ported Plan 9 to several RISC-V 'Unix-capable'

This talk describes what was involved in the port, the

Building custom packages for a powerpc or mips network appliance that's too painfully small to build anything itself? With pkgsrc, the customizable cross-platform packaging system from NetBSD, you can cross-build from a large repository of packages on your beefier laptop, workstation, or server instead -- and not just across architectures, but soon across operating systems too.

pkgsrc will automatically handle natively building toolchain packages needed as dependencies to cross-build packages, so you don't have to fuss with manually assembling all the parts of a cross-compiler toolchain in advance. Most packages require relatively little work to adapt to cross-builds.

This talk will discuss the state of cross-compilation in pkgsrc:
