panel discussions, HOLs (Hands-on-labs), BOFs (Birds-of-a-feather),
the Pavilion and the After Dark Bash / Networking Mixer! Not to
mention a "hang space" (which includes video games, movies
& more!), plus you will be able to check email any time at one of
our many hacker stations.

PLUS
Admission to the
CommunityOne Deep-Dives. What does this mean? FREE training by our
very own SLS on some really great topics, plus hugely discounted
certification (vouchers will be handed out at the event)-
certification can even be done on-site! There will also be numerous
parties and chances for you to network with the best and brightest in
the industry, from community leaders to "Rockstars" and
everyone in between.

    New: Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server

    Monday Oct 13, 2008

    On
    October 13, 2008, check out the new Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server,
    a 4-socket, 256-thread server based on Sun's open-source chip
    multi-threading (CMT) architecture, with all the scalability and
    reliability features of traditional mid-range systems as well as
    simpler, more powerful and no cost development tools like Sun Studio 12
    and CoolTools to enable faster time to market for new applications and
    services.  See how Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server, which runs up to
    4X faster, costs 1/5th as much and only uses a fraction of the energy
    of servers with conventional designs, is changing mid-range computing
    economics for the 21st century.

    Friday Sep 26, 2008

    A Sun branded radio show targeting the Millenial lifestyle, aptly named
    New Gen Tech, just launched with co-hosts Christian Mudgett and Danny
    Holland leading the way.   As Millenials themselves, they aim to crack
    the code between the convergence of technology and pop culture.  Danny
    and Christian quote, "Pop culture, for us, is really the aesthetic
    aspect of "cool and relevant" tech.  We find the harmony between tech
    form and function and show how it relates to our constantly evolving
    lives.."  This show isn't just for Millenials, its for anyone who wants
    to KNOW the Millenial mind inside and out.
