GOAL
Basic
idea
is
to
create
a
series
of
short
(~10
minutes)
well-edited
tutorial
introductions
to
Plan
9
as
well
as
short
talks
on
underlying
philosophy
and
design
principles.
The
idea
is
to
follow
the
example
of
the
(better)
Google
Code
YouTube
videos
and
provide
a
path
for
folks
to
learn
a
bit
more
about
Plan
9.
The
idea
is
to
mix
lecture,
screen
videos,
and
discussion
to
hopefully
encourage
more
of
an
interactive
experience.
