Student describes Campus Ambassador program
Jakub Kotowski recently wrote a blog that nicely describes the work that more than 700 Sun Campus Ambassadors around the world engage in.
As Jakub points out, the responsibility of a Campus Ambassador is to "promote open-source technologies from Sun, and try to create and foster a community of students interested in Sun technologies but also in open source in general."
Sun Campus Ambassadors organize events at their respective universities where they introduce technologies such as OpenSolaris, JavaFX, NetBeans, MySQL, and GlassFish among others.
Additionally, Campus Ambassadors help promote Sun's Academic Initiative through which Jakub reports "students gain free access to various Web-based courses and have a possibility to get a discount on Sun certification exams."
Check out Jakub's blog for more details on the Sun Campus Ambassador program. Also, if you haven't already been to OSUM check that out as well and find the student group at your university!
