Well, it's been a long time coming, but today I was able to officially confirm the dates for my first two tech demos in this program :-D. After several months of waiting for meetings and emails, the next two weeks are going to be pretty busy!
Because there's not much time left in the semester, I'm only going to have time for two demos. Because of that, my first talk will be a very broad-ranging one, taking in all sorts of aspects of Sun open-source tech. Hopefully I'll get some good attendance (helped by the fact that there will be plenty of free swag on offer), but with only two days until the event, I'm not sure.
My second talk next week will be on the topic of SunSPOTs, which are versatile wireless sensor devices with all sorts of interesting applications. I'm hoping to get some help from the EEE department on this one as they're quite interested in using them. They'll be glad to know that they can also score some free SunSPOT kits if they can get some students to do a bit of online Solaris training!
Today I've spent a fair bit of time fleshing out the informational website I've made for the Sun@Strathclyde program, which can be found here. Hopefully this will be a good starting point for students who are wondering what on earth I'm going on about!
