Campus Ambassador Makes Good - Gives Back
Friday Nov 21, 2008
Sun Campus Ambassadors are students that work for Sun as interns to educate students about the benefits of open source technologies from Sun. Last year, Zhiqi Tao served as our Campus Ambassador at the University of Melbourne. After graduation, Tao came to work for Sun as a Support Engineer focusing on Sun's SW stack for high performance computing (HPC).
Tao developed a great tutorial on how students can turn their laptop into a HPC development platform using Sun's HPC Linux Stack on VirtualBox. Check out his blog to learn about Sun xVM VirtualBox, Sun HPC Software Linux Edition, and the Sun Lustre Filesystem.
I learned of Tao's tutorial when he emailed the current generation of Campus Ambassadors to let them know about this great new student resource. One of the best aspects of the Campus Ambassador Program is the sense of community and mutual support amongst the more than 500 students participating in the program. So it was very gratifying to see the Campus Ambassador alumni continue to participate and support our community.
