What comes to your mind when you think of a "campus"? Brick walls from centuries past? Glass and steel buildings that try to mimic corporate environments? Well, that is not what the Solaris Campus team envisioned for this space in Second Life, the widely acclaimed Multi-User Virtual Environment (MUVE).
The informal learning space will launch on October 10, 2008 in Sun's public SIM so everyone has a chance to come meet other Solaris enthusiasts, exchange experiences, and learn more about Solaris by participating in scavenger hunts, chats with Solaris experts, and others in an informal social environment. What better place to have a "campus" than a relaxing beach? Come be a part of the Solaris Campus experience in Second Life, you are the experience!
Sun's presence in Second Life will soon be enhanced with a Solaris Campus. Don't think all traditional campus - think a fun, unique and
very community oriented virtual campus.
The experience will be live on October 10, 2008 and we hope will be
improved over time with your feedback and participation.
Here are some of the things you can expect from the Solaris Campus:
And, please join the Sun Microsystems News group in Second Life so we can begin to really start our virtual community of Solaris learners.
We hope to see you there and look forward to your feedback and participation on how learning Solaris in a 3D environment and being part of a virtual community will enable your work with Solaris.
