Sun recently launched two efforts to connect education communities around the world. The first is Educonnection.org for Sun's customers in the education sector and the second one, OSUM is a growing Ning community for students into open source programming tools and platforms. OSUM already has over 16,000 members, how cool is that?

Educonnection is a great tool for schools and will help with the challenges of adoptiong new technology in tough economic times. OSUM's objective its to harnesses the true power of open source by helping students collaborate and use open source developer tools like MySQL, NetBeans, Java, GlassFish, OpenSPARC, OpenSolaris and more. Both of these communities allow you to network, meet new tech focused peers, expand your resources and help spread the message of open source and collaboration.

In just two days everyone will be able to see one of the "smartest" movies ever made this summer.

Get Smart, featuring Steve Carrell, Anne Hathaway, Dwayne Johnson, and Alan Arkin.

It is sure to be a huge hit! And probably even more so because it features one of the hottest Sun products out there-- Sun Storage Tek SL8500!

That's right, I said it, Sun products are featured in Get Smart!

Right here:

Isn't that totally awesome!

So, I urge you to join the Get Smart Fan page on Facebook, go see the movie June 20th, and stay tuned for more information surrounding this photo featured above--it will be fun stuff ;-) Would I ever lead you on?
