It's been a pretty hectic weekend for me - immediately after finishing my first tech demo of the year on Friday, I hopped straight onto a train to go visit a friend for the weekend. Then, with it being my mum's birthday today, I had to high-tail it back home to join my parents for dinner at The Bay Tree (a very nice wee restaurant on Great Western Road, highly recommended). I was going to finalise my demo programme tonight but my brain's not working so I guess it'll have to wait till tomorrow :-p
The kickoff event on Friday went fairly well - we got 46 students along, which is not too bad for the first event of the year. Hopefully word-of-mouth and the continued allure of free stuff will keep people coming along. Below you can see a short clip from the talk in which I describe Sun's open-source strategy and how the OSUM programme fits into it. There's also a run-through of how to sign up to the website and join my group (hint, hint) :-D
So that's one down and ten to go - we've got ten weeks left before the end of the semester and I'm hoping to fit ten demos in, one per week. Watch this space for news of what I'll be covering!
