Where is the source code used for the newer plan 9 development? (the foundation said they are participating in google summer of code).

One of the newsgroup moderators probably knows the answer.

@octade @opensource @usenet Thanks @a & @cross! Is this bridged to the 9fans list, or separate?

@octade@soc.octade.net @opensource@lemmy.ml @usenet@lemmy.ml so is this still a 9fans bridge or do I need to find an NNTP client now?

They are explicitly not running it via 9fans bridge. Access is via NNTP only.

Thunderbird sports a very mature NNTP interface if you have a newer computer. Claws-Mail also has a very good and fast NNTP interface, even on older computers. SLRN is available for a terminal-based interface.
