Visit to Peking University, Beijing
Cindy organized an event at Peking University on Monday 16th April.
I gave a talk on opensolaris to Peking University students in Beijing, China. I went to the university along with two CAs(Tracy and Lucy). I met Meredith, CA from Peking Univ. and also opensource community member Zachary. The talk started exactly at 19:00hrs. I've started my discussion by showing some videos about Sun and participation age.
Later I discussed about
* Sun Academic Initiative
* Sun academic developer program
* Open source and licensing
* OpenSolaris and its features(dtrace, ZFS, SMF, zones...)
* Live CDs/Live USBs
* Hands on usage of SMF, zones and pools
30 students were attended the talk. Finally I got very good and interesting questions on ZFS, SMF and containers. Also one student asked about is opensolaris can be installed on mac OS ?
The discussion went up to 21:00hrs. I found very good talented students in Peking university, I'm sure if they get little support we can do lot better. All the attendees were aware about Linux.
Special thanks to Tracy and Lucy for their wonderful support.
Students are listening the talk very interestingly.
Showing the demonstration.
