After co-operating with China Operating System Associations to
accomplish the Sun 2007 OpenSolaris Course Training in Yantai, we
collaborated with the ACM/ICPC Council China to hold the 2007 Summer Forum for Team Training in Asia/China
in JiLin University. In this forum, we provided Solaris/OpenSolaris
Training to 96 ACM coaches throughout China, most of them are
professors of programming or algorithms.
On August 5, the 2007 Summer Forum for Team Training in Asia/China
kicked off in Changchun city, JiLin province. In the 3-day forum, 96
ACM coaches shared their experience in the programming contests. As the
major sponsor, Sun China ERI announced the collaboration with ACM/ICPC
Council, including providing the platform sponsor for the 2007 final
contests and offering the training on Solaris development environment
to the coaches. All coaches attended the following Solaris/OpenSolaris
Training. Every attendee was presented with the "Solaris Complete
Reference" book and the OpenSolaris Starter Kits and Solaris Developer
Tools DVDs.
The agenda and outline of the training are as below.

On August 6 morning, John Jiang introduced Sun Technology Outreach
Programs in Universities covering the Solaris Teaching Assistance and
Campus Ambassadors Programs which interested the coaches. All the
Solaris/OpenSolaris training were delivered in the Lab installed with
Solaris. It's notable that we did a survey of integrating Solaris
development environment into the programming curricula. After the
screening of the survey results, some professors are willing to
integrate Solaris and join the OpenSolaris Teaching Assistance program.

Based on the successful collaboration of delivering ACM/ICPC Contest on
Solaris in Xi'An regional contest last year, we negotiated with the
ACM/ICPC Council China and came to agreement to be the platform sponsor
for 3 Asia regional ACM/ICPC contests during this October to November
in China. That means, all these contests will conduct on Solaris
development environment. We are invited to integrate the Sun
technologies like Solaris, Sun Studio, Netbeans, etc. to the contests.
The estimated participants for the final contests will be at least 300
teams, or 900 contestants. There will be much more participants in the
selection contests for the candidates of final contests. All of them
are top coders from various universities throughout China.
As Prof. Hwang, the ACM/ICPC Aisa director, stated, Solaris are popular
in American Universities. It is a good chance for Solaris to bind with
ACM/ICPC, the top academic programming contest in the world, which are
more and more popular in China now. This promotion will surely help
Solaris to get as popular in China universities as it does in US in the
not long future.
Let's look forward to the ACM/ICPC contests on Solaris in China. (With Belenix Demo)
