Sun University Days in BMS College of Engineering
AST team had conducted a 2 day event in BMS college. It was attended by
more than 150 students and lecturers of BMS college.
1/2 day was reserved for opensolaris. Since most of the colleges in India
are predominantly Windows users,
We knew that at most 20-25% of the crowd may have some unix knowledge.
So opensolaris talks were spread in 3 section.
1) I gave a first talk on Introduction to Solaris. The idea was to
introduce them to Unix world and
get them familiar with Solaris look and feel, introduce some
administration commands.
2) Raju SN gave a talk on some advance features of Solaris.
Basically explain students why Solaris is called the Best Operating
System on Planet.
In his presentation Raju covered some of the new features of Solaris
like SMF, Zones, BrandZ, Dtrace, ZFS, Trusted Extensions, etc..
3) Finally presentation was given by Ganesh Hiregoudar on How to
contribute for opensolaris.
By now they would have been impressed by Solaris and features, if they
want to contribute, where to look for resources,
which forums, user group they can be part of, What all projects they
can do on opensolaris.
All the sessions were quite interactive. There was lot of interest in
contributing to opensolaris. Even if we convert 10% of the people who have shown
interests join Bosug,
I am sure our Himalaya conference room may not be able to take that
many people for Next Bosug meeting.
