Student Views and Reviews: Sun on Campus

Student Views and Reviews is actively seeking student reviews for publication on the MAIN Student Reviews page on Sun.com.   

We are looking for students to send pointers to blogs they have written about ANY Sun technology. It can be a blog giving tips for using OpenSolaris or a how-to install article on VirtualBox. It can be a review of OpenOffice or JavaFX. Just make sure it is a blog YOU wrote -- no "borrowing" work from others -- about a Sun technology. The blogs you send in will have a chance to be featured HERE on this main Sun Web site in the student portal.

This is a GREAT opportunity for you to show us your technical and communication skills! As many of you prepare to hit the job market within the next few years you should be seizing opportunities to show your range of talent -- every extra publication can count in a competitive marketplace -- so we expect many of you to contribute!

Additionally, many of you may have seen the new Q&A + Podcast that has been running here in Student Views and Reviews. With your blog contribution you will qualify for participation in that program, which will be featured on both Student Views and Reviews AND the top of this Sun Web site!

So, if you've written a blog in the past -- great, send in; if you haven't, then get busy! So, how do you submit your work? You can either post it to the comments below, leave a message on my OSUM page, or e-mail it to me at maijaliisa.burkert(at)sun.com. I am looking forward to reading your blogs and making the Student Reviews page on Sun.com really top notch with your content!

Results are finally HERE...

First, thanks to all the participants for your submissions. You made the judges’ work very difficult. Keep up the great work!
