Thank you very much for organizing this great conference! Had a blast talking about #permacomputing #plan9 #IRC and #forth at #UndoneCS. I did miss the morning talks due to the timezone difference, but I really look forward to the recordings!
We have come to the end of the last day. Thank you to all the authors and participants, you are the ones who made this conference fascinating!
👩🎤…I still got some #punk rock cred! So, it's last session after 3 days of #UndoneCS. I admit I zoned out, had trouble concentrating on Nils Bonfils' talk “Cultivating a Historicist Sensibility through Permacomputing”.
Through my mind haze, I hear Nils say the word “#anarchist”, then, “#anticapitalist”. Suddenly I'm wide awake & completely focused.
#PunksNotDead
I'm glad too as this #permacomputing stuff is extremely interesting & definitely important to future of #FOSS.

Was Plan 9 a failure? And IRC? And Forth?
"Cultivating a Historicist Sensibility through Permacomputing" by Nils Bonfils
"Overdone" computer science (AI, cloud, big data…), as opposed to Undone :-)
Basic idea of historicism: do not assume that there is just one straight line, going to more progress.
First mention of Plan 9 at the conference :-)
Interesting point made by Damien Lacroux: the problem isn’t the absence of anticipation, but the absence of a *shared* anticipation.
