Virtual InstallFest Tomorrow!

VIRTUAL INSTALL FEST

A never done before event, for the first time,
JIIT Sun Club presents the idea of having an Install Fest right inside Hostel!

FREE OpenSolaris Starter Kit (2 DVD’S with OpenSolaris Distros) to all!

LUCKY DRAW!

1. Install OpenSolaris      2. Submit the feedback form      3. WIN prizes!

What’s an Install Fest?
An InstallFest is an opportunity to get hands on help in installing and/or configuring OpenSolaris on your computer. Unlike the monthly meetings where you can only talk about your Solaris issues, at the install fest you can
bring those problems to your peers and show them what is going on. It is also about getting to know your peers in the local Open Source User Group, and being able to share expertise and knowledge in a very informal environment.

What is a Virtual InstallFest?

What do I need to do?

  1. Open your browser and go to http://installfest (note that you will have to add “installfest” in your browser’s proxy exceptions)
  2. Download and Install VirtualBox on your system (from downloads section)
  3. Login and join the chat conference at http://installfest/chat
  4. Catch the live webcast link and open it in your video player.
  5. Wait for the event to start, once all participants have joined.
  6. The host starts the installation on his system, which you can see streaming live to your video player. Install along on your system. Ask for any doubts or questions in the chat conference.
  7. Once the installation is over, download the feedback form, fill it up with useful feedback. This feedback will be sent to the OpenSolaris engineering team to suggest the overall user experience in the installation process and initial use phase. We want to send them this feedback to let them know what university students feel about the OS and what they could do to improve it. This feedback is of utmost importance.

What to bring? Where to go?

You don’t have to go anywhere! Just logon to http://installfest at the stipulated time of the event and follow the instructions. Have fun installing Solaris!

What’s an Are there any prizes or giveaways?

Yes! :)
