Yesterday was one of the most memorable days , we had an awesome tech talk , one of the best we have ever had on the campus by Angelo Rajadurai Sun Tech Office , Santa Clara USA, an Alumnus of TCE who passed out of the college in 1990(CSE department). 

He came to our college and participated in the alumni meet on 29th July(Sunday).The next day we had the following sessions.

Talk to CSE(Computer science and Engineering) , IT (Information technology)students in KS auditorium from 9:15 to 11:00 am

He gave an introduction to Solaris, Open Solaris.

He spoke a little about Niagara.

He mainly concentrated on ZFS and
Dtrace. He explained  concepts of ZFS-
so wonderfully that many people understood and had many questions for him. He talked on the capacity of ZFS , copy on write, sharing, data integrity and transactional operation,
snapshot, self healing.

He did a demo and showed how to
create an user in zpool , list the users in zpool, how to allocate
space for the users in the zpool, how to restrict the access of an user
in the zpool and how to take snapshots.

He gave a brief introduction to Dtrace and a short demo.we ended up that session there and we had tea break.

We continued the session from 11:20 and lot of people stayed to listen to the special session on Dtrace.That was simply brilliant and he was brilliantly answering people's questions.

While ending
up the session he spoke on Web 2.0. He gave the scope for projects that
can be done as a contribution to the Open Solaris comm
unity and also sponsored to mentor few students.

He inaugurated the IT association ,presided over the function and spoke on bridging the gap between students and Industry. 

we took him to PPlab and showed him TCENet , GLUGOT and the projects we do. He was so glad about the work and TCENet getting PCQuest award. We met the principal and spoke on what next to be done in TCE.

It was so good having him here and we felt so motivated after his brilliant tech talk.Thank you sir!!

Great to hear that Angelo made it to TCE. I am looking forward to students from TCE (my alma mater as well) contributing to OpenSolaris bugs. Just imagine how great it would be to have a OpenSolaris bug fix in your resume. And I promise to consider anyone who fixes these bugs a chance to interview in my team. And BTW, we work in the internals of the Solaris OS. Show me the code folks!
