The time has come to embrace open source software!
You can imagine how excited we are around here to celebrate Software Freedom Day with friends around the world on Sept. 20th. Over 500 teams in over 90 countries are participating. We have events in over 130 campuses as well! Please join us.
Did you that Sun has committed to open source software by contributing billions of dollars in developer time, sponsorships and donations, as well as releasing more code under open source licenses than any other organization in the world? Yahtzee!
So why open source?
-global public collaboration
-extensive access regardless of economics
-enhances communities (software for schools, emerging economies)
-combines diversity of approaches and skills
-promotes open innovation and transparency
-decreases walled gardens
Why do YOU love open source? How can it Change (Y)our World?

We believe in freedom and sharing, so together on this day, we will encourage the free use and benefits of open source software. There will be installfests, product demonstrations, give aways, and seminars. I can't think of anything more fun! With more than 300+ teams in 65+ countries already planning local events, there is likely an event near you. See where and how Sun is celebrating here. It's easy to join and get involved.

Sun's Student Technology Camp in the Bay Area- Friday, September 5th!
Invite a student to the Sun Student Technology Camp
Friday, September 5th
Register your student today!
Bay Area Sun Employees,
Do you know a student that loves science and wants cutting-edge innovation? Maybe you know an entrepreneurial student who aspires to start the next Facebook, Google or Ebay. Have you been wondering how YOU can personally help Sun reach its SMI Connected Student goal this year? (bonus, anyone?).
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, then Sun’s Student Technology Camp will be of
great interest to you. Here is an opportunity to bring a student to work and share with them how cool your
job is! Join our Technology Camp to get demos, hands-on activities, and presentations on the latest,
most innovative technology.
Some of the topics covered will include: Web 2.0, Gaming, and Open Source software.
These events will be held at Sun locations around the world! The first one in the Bay Area will be at the Menlo Park Campus on Friday, September 5th from 4:00pm – 6:00pm. The topic will be our very own SunSPOT technology, presented by Roger Meike – Director of Operations, SunLabs!
What does SunSPOT stand for? Sun Small Programmable Object Technology. For those who haven’t heard of SunSPOTs, they are really cool sensors that are programmed almost entirely in Java to allow regular programmers to create projects that used to require specialized embedded system development skills. Students everywhere LOVE them!
These events are completely at no cost and open to Sun employees and their families.
Hurry — seating is limited! Register your student today!
Key Details
Date: Friday, September 5th
Location: Menlo Park (room location given out upon sign-up)
