It's been a while since I've posted any updates here. Despite appearances, I haven't actually disappeared off the face of the Earth (I've actually been sequestered in my room working away on my final-year project for approximately the last four months) and I've now sorted out the schedule for the Sun@Strathclyde OSUM tech demos in 2009.
What's an OSUM? Well, it's kind of like an on-campus club; it stands for Open-Source University Meetup and is, somewhat embarrasingly, pronounced "awesome" (the person who thought that one up is an American, obviously!). There's a whole social networking site devoted to all the OSUMs around the world at osum.sun.com and the Sun@Strathclyde group is here.
So when's the first tech demo? The answer is next Friday (that's the 6th of February) in room M4.09 at 1pm till 2pm. We'll be covering: a general intro to the OSUM program, instructions on how to access free online training resources through the Sun Academic Initiative, and attendees will have the chance to vote for the topics and technologies they want to see covered at the subsequent weekly demos. That's right, this is a weekly thing - same time, same place, every week.
For more info or to get involved, please feel free to join the Sun@Strathclyde OSUM group. I'll see you on there!
