Operating Systems: A Look Back at Plan 9, Modernizing Haiku’s Bluetooth Handling

[Old] Johanna-Mathilda Langenhan ☛ One week of using Plan 9
I first heard about Plan 9 on sdf.org, the Public Access UNIX system I've been a basic member of for a few years (which runs on BSD, incidentally). What drew me to it was the general mystery of it. I had no experience with running non-linux UNIX OSes on my PC; and I'd heard of people using BSD, but I knew no one who used Plan 9. It was something I had never come into contact with before.

HaikuOS ☛ [GSoC 2026] Modernizing Haiku’s Bluetooth stack: Implementing support for HFP profile - Mid-Term Progress Report
Introduction
Hello again! It has been a fun journey since the beginning of GSoC. My project focuses on modernizing Haiku’s Bluetooth stack, specifically adding support for the Hands-Free Profile (HFP). HFP is a profile that allows operating systems to interact with Bluetooth audio devices, such as headsets, for two-way voice calls and audio streaming. Today, I’ll be sharing a progress report on the work I have completed till now, and will outline my plans for the remainder of the project.
