Hello!

I have an antique server with qemu set up to run Xv6.[1] I wanted somebody to go through the course with me.[2] So far nobody has come aboard, and I haven't really started. If anyone here might be interested, please feel free to get in touch: [e-mail]. It would be super great to have a few friends along! Thank you!

Best wishes and kindest regards,

Tom

Earlier today I sent our first Xv6 Study Group email blast to the 15 people who have signed up. Also, I started a simple website for the group:

I wasn't expecting such a big response! Thank you to all the guys who joined! Thank you HN!

Hello again!

Already have one person for our Xv6 study circle! Thank you HN! Anybody else?

I'm going to sleep now, but if anybody emails me, I will for sure reply in the morning.

Best!

So far, ten people have emailed expressing interest in joining our Xv6 study group. Plus three more said hello.

My idea is to start on the course itself tomorrow or the next day. I expect to invest at least an hour a day in the course itself. I also expect to post my notes and progress somewhere.

We can fill in the group structure as we go along. Maybe we all can keep in touch via email, irc, Jitsi, an HN thread, or set up our own Xv6 study group forum?

I am delighted to be in contact with so many other students! We have room for a few more if anyone else wants to join. Thank you all so much!

Oops! I just checked my email! There seem to be several more responses. I will get back to everyone ASAP.

We might even have room for even a few more!

Thanks guys! Thank you HN <3

Really wish I could join but I'm not there yet, need more work to get there. Good luck and have fun!

Hi Markus!

Thanks for your kind words.

I read your comment[1] which explains what you are doing and suggests by implication why you might think you are insufficiently prepared.

However, no law requires perfect preparedness. Why not take a few small bites of delicious dessert and see how they taste?

Best wishes and kindest regards,

Tom

Thanks for the encouragement! I'll grab the textbook and take a look.
