Techfest @ MIT Chennai
Our campus ambassador, Sreedhar from MIT Chennai reports about the event which they have conducted at their campus.
============================================
Carte blanche ’07 has turned out to be a huge success. I take this opportunity to share our experience.
The kind of people who visited our stall ranged from school students to
systems engineering professionals in the industry. We briefed about the
operating system concepts to school children and explained the endian
problem briefly. They were listening very keenly and appreciated our
efforts.
We had a couple of students from neighboring engineering colleges. Their
interest in solaris OS and its unique features was overwhelming. We told
them features like ZFS, Dtrace and zoning and also about the Niagara
architecture(as some of them were interested in microprocessors). As a
demo we showed how to write a Dscript and run it. We showed the
organization of probes and how the Dtrace system actually works. We also
explained about the modular architecture of the solaris kernel and the
differences between solaris and linux and the occasions were one beats
another.
It gives me immense pleasure in sharing some of the feedbacks we recvd
for our demo.
- I m a system admin in a leading organization. I feel this is excellent
information on solaris features.
- Wonderful lecture about advantages of open solaris.
- The demo was informative.
- Very informative and clear explanation.
- Cool to hear that you are using solaris(this was by a linux geek).
In addition to this several college students were eager to know how we
could make it up to learn solaris. We then explained them about SAI and
we gave them the link to join it as well. They were very much satisfied
by the advantages of SAI and have promised to talk with their faculty
and getting involved in the program. We also had a couple of people who
needed information on sun training and certification. As the information
pamphlet was remaining with me, I could explain the different programs
.We also distributed a pamphlet to a student who was very interested.
Finally to sum up our stall was a real crowd puller and had a great
response from the visitors. I feel proud to share about this rocking OS
with people and I wish that people in my college appreciate it truly and
use it extensively.
