Students from EPFL in Prague

Students from EPFL in Prague

Sun, with its roots in Standford University is very open to students. We hosted students from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) this Thursday.
It's a prestigious university, part of École polytechnique fédérale (EPF), where the father of modern science Albert Einstein studied. I'm sure that at least one of these students that I talked to will become as famous as Albert and - of course - they will remember the most influential moment in their life, the visit to Sun Microsystems.

How did it go?

We did a couple presentation to them. I started with an overview of the company, Lukas Rovensky followed by talking about Open Solaris. Rouman, the superstar as always, entertained folks with NetBeans 6.0. His demo and presentation generated heated discussion, especially about developing modules for NetBeans. There was interest to develop a Latex module for NetBeans, so we'll see.

Martin Grebac finished the whole program with a Glassfish demo and last but not least students went to the Usability Lab and Software Lab, where they saw how we test our software.

Kudos to all people who participated in this event, including Dal mas Sylviane and Lenka Kasparova who prepared the whole event.
