Immerse yourself in Solaris Solaris Campus

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:

• Come chat with Solaris experts, learn what's new in Solaris and have fun with other Solaris users in a 3D environment!
• Come immerse yourself in Solaris 10 and share your thoughts.
  
• Come anytime and explore the area's information.
• Meet and network wtih Solaris experts and other Sun employees and Sun fans.
  
• Participate in a Sun Solaris scavenger hunt and win a prize!
• Office hours - there will be a schedule posted of when Sun Solaris experts will be in-world at the Solaris Campus to chat with you about any Solaris topic you are interested in or help to answer Solaris related questions.
  
• Look for an immersive experience on Solaris features soon (not at the initial launch)
  

The calendar of scheduled live events are as follows - specific dates TBD.
