Environment Awareness Day and Lake Cleaning Activity
As part of WWVW(World Wide Volunteer Week) 2009, we've organized the following activities on April 18th and 19th 2009.
18th April - Environment Awareness Day
19th April - Lake Cleaning activity
I've no words to say thank you to all the parents and children of Akshayanagar
layout participated with spirit and enthusiasm in both the activities
on April 18th and 19th 2009.
On 18th April at 9AM, we've started the
activity with prayer and took a procession in the layout till 11AM. All
the children dressed up with all nature beauty. You should see our kids
participation in this walkathon. Parents also participated with zeal.
After the walkathon, we came back to Kalabhavan and provided the food
to the participants. After that we showed movies related to environment
awareness.
On 19th April 2009 at 7AM, we've started the lake cleaning activity,
around 30-40 members have participated in this activity. You should see
the cleaning activity, its all clean now. Those who are not residing
and those who are residing and missed this opportunity, please do visit
the lake and enjoy. By the success of this activity, all the members
have decided to do it again on coming Sunday April 26th at the same
place. Please do participate and make this a model example of our
activities to other Bangaloreans.

Software Freedom Day 2008
Sun is one of the main sponsor of Software Freedom Day 2008(http://softwarefreedomday.org). As part of campus ambassadors, we've planned for many more activities in India and rest of the world.
Stay tuned...

SunTechnologySummit 2007
I had an opportunity to attend SunTechnologySummit 2007 held at Taj Westend Bangalore on May 18th. I invited all our Bangalore campus ambassadors and NITK CA for the event. After lot of push, we finally happened to meet Scott McNealy, Chairman and Co-Founder, Sun Microsystems Inc. Sorry to other CAs, Bangalore CAs represented India on behalf of all of you guys. We presented a momento(Indian antique) to Scott who was very happy to receive the same. He was very excited and impressed about the work done by CAs from India. Kudos to all of you guys, keep the flag high. We did mention to Scott and Anil about our "Sun CA Day"(the event CORONA). He was amazed after hearing about that.
After that our CAs did meet our site lead Anil Gupta who is big supporter of this program.
Later we had a photo session with both Scott and Anil respectively.

Sun Opens Doors to Next-Generation Technology
*Sun Opens Doors to Next-Generation Technology*
------------------------------------------
The article from InfoWorld, Paul Krill; April 26, 2007
--------------------------------------------
http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/04/26/HNsunopenhouse_1.html
Sun Microsystems opened up its labs Thursday, spotlighting projects in
areas ranging from wire-free chip-to-chip communications to Web 2.0
security.
The Sun Labs Open House at Sun facilities in Menlo Park, Calif.,
featured presentations and demonstrations on technologies still in
development. One room even featured a slot car track embedded with
real-time Java sensor technology.
Fostering communications between different Sun engineers is one intent
of the open house, although customers, press, and students could be
found roaming the different Sun buildings to check out exhibits and
presentations.
"One of our constant efforts is technology transfer, which is getting
other people at Sun to understand what we're doing," so plans can be
formulated based on what each group is up to, said Robert Sproull, vice
president and Sun fellow at Sun Microsystems Laboratories.
The open house extends to Friday but only for Sun employees. The agenda
for Friday features a presentation on Project Flair, a project focused
on Web development.
One project drawing a lot of attention Thursday, Proximity
Communication, seeks to overcome limitations of Moore's Law. This famed
principle stipulates that the number of transistors per chip doubles
every 24 months at the same level of investment. In development for
several years now, Proximity Communication involves placing silicon
parts close to each other and transmitting signals between them sans wires.
This can increase bandwidth, make chips replaceable, and enable smaller
chips, according to Sun. But there still are challenges, such as heat
dissipation, said Robert Drost, director and distinguished engineer in
Sun Labs. "[The project] has a very high risk and high reward," he said.
Proximity Communication represents major progress if Sun can pull it
off, according to analyst Nathan Brookwood, founder of Insight64.
"Today, trying to build a system out of multiple chips really imposes
tremendous performance constraints," Brookwood said. "If they can
achieve this, if they can take several chips and make them behave like
one large chip from an electrical and signal timing perspective, then
that's a huge step forward."
Doing so would save power and enable the building of much larger caches,
for example, Brookwood said.
Sun officials differed on when Proximity Communication technology might
actually arrive in products. Drost would not comment on when this might
happen except to say there would be some "packaging-type announcements"
in the next year. But Sproull said it would be years, not months, before
Proximity Communication would be in products.
"We haven’t even gotten the first prototype working," he said.
Sun's SPARC CPU platform is a likely destination for Proximity
Communication. "You would get the most value out of this in something
like a SPARC processor," Drost said.
The Web 2.0 security project, meanwhile, would provide server-to-user
and user-to-server authentication, unlike SSL, which is limited to
authenticating a user to a server. "If you really want to spread
stronger trust models, especially in the e-commerce world, it would be
very nice to have mutual authentication," Sproull said.
Another effort, Project Squawk, is intended to produce a small Java
virtual machine. Squawk would extend Java down to
microcontroller-powered devices, which run on as little as 8K of flash
memory and 1K of RAM. Even a toaster is a possible destination. The VM
runs in the absence of an OS.
"Today, we're able to run Java on fairly large servers down to
workstations and phones. I would like to see Java running on
microcontrollers," said Eric Arseneau, a Sun principal investigator.
With Squawk running on multiple varieties of microcontrollers, embedded
application developers could be provided with a uniform set of tools to
build applications regardless of which microcontroller is present,
Arseneau said. The intention is to offer Squawk technology via open
source, he said.
Among the other projects on display, many of which have been detailed
before, were:
* Fortress, a high-performance computing language intended as a Fortran
replacement
* DReaM, which is Sun's digital rights management initiative
* SPOTs (Small Programmable Object Technology), providing
Java-programmable wireless sensors
* Celeste, presenting a new model for massively scalable storage
* Project Pulsar, which ports the embedded OpenSolaris OS to the PowerPC
platform
* MPK20, providing a Sun virtual workplace and featuring collaboration
and 3D capabilities. It is more of a gaming environment, Sproull said.
* Project Live, for system virtualization
* Sedna, presenting a next-generation switch

Global Meet on Corporate Communications conference
I got an opportunity from TASMAC to attend the 3 day conference on "Global Meet on Corporate Communications" from 15th to 17th March being held at Chancery hotel, Bangalore. They have selected a "Metamorphosis as India emerges" as theme of this conference. This is being organized by PRIC(Public Relations Council of India). I'm doing my MBA at TASMAC in International Business Management as my specialization.
Yesterday, it was an inaugural ceremony of the conference. During the event, they honoured distinguished personolities as "Hall of Fame". I was excited to see such a high profile dignitaries.
Lot of business sessions being organized in this conference.
Stay tuned for the next update.

Ganesh Hiregoudar's Weblog
Hello World!
I was excited to write my blog, thought of starting with my introduction.
I'm Ganesh Hiregoudar and work for Sun Microsystems Bangalore.
I work for OP/N1 RPE group working on customer raised escalations and
contributing to upcoming products. We call ourselves as bridge between
new release engineers and services.I work on SNMP, SMF and zones related escalations
raised by customer.
I love hindustani classical music and planning to learn violin.
Stay tuned more on Solaris 10 and open solaris
My first weblog :)
