Lot of new stuff coming up. Also see: https://harvey-os.org/ https://www.redox-os.org/

Just had a look over Harvey OS, looks like a pretty neat direction to take Plan 9. But it got me wondering, is there any shared collaberation between any of the next-gen 'Plan 9-like' OS's like 9atom, 9front and Harvey OS? Also, it looks as though Harvey OS is only using Slack for its discussion forum, which is a bit odd for an open source project.

9front views HarveyOS with scorn and I don't think 9atom is developed.

oooooh, stays steady with the boat pitching/rolling

You don't want that. With the boat pitching and rolling, so does the people on board looking at the instruments, so having the instrument tilt would be rather disorienting! as if sailing by itself isn't disorienting enough. ;)

Yes! I meant more, you have awkward spaces to fill and it may be convenient to mount a panel at some odd angle but still have it display things aligned with the floor.

HarveyOS is "plan 9 with gcc" but 9front doesn't like gnu stuff. See cat-v, suckless, and their IRC channel.
