NIT Rourkela's Sun club

I havent been writing for a long time.The main reason was that I had nothing to write about.Life was just going on with no new surprises.But now I have got something to write and hence forth this blog will be dedicated for that.

Sun microsystems has recently opened many campus clubs in major engineering institutes-ditto in our institute! Ok let me first of all speak about how it was all setup.This,I intend,to do in brief and are listed below as points.

• A campus ambassador was selected by the Sun people through a telephonic interview. Result-Prabit Mishra(3rd Year,CSE).
• A campus club intended to be set up.
• CV submission by students followed by interview of shortlisted ones.
• Sun club formation at NIT,Rourkela.

So this way it all happened and me got into this Sun club. Really speaking this has been fantastic and at the same time exhausting as well.We have been intending to conduct tech-demos for awarness about open-source and other Sun technologies.Till now we are in the planning stage and nothing has been started in the true sense but we will be starting in a big way...just we want that the respoonse comes good and the hard work that we have been putting since the last few days pays.

Now we are in the lab which has been assigned to us and trying to install Solaris(OS).It has been showing some problems when some of us tried installing it on our PCs.Lets see what comes out of today's work.

And yes,today was also a workshop by TCS ppl on Information Security which I had attended.It was sort of good,I will say...not much of technical things just thrown to sound hi-fi but at the same time informative.It was kept on a basic level so as everyone to understand and appreciate.It was a new topic for all of us and most of us appreciated the information which was delivered in the presentation.

All this for today.Rest after some days.Expect more on Sun Club!

Note-Please overlook the typo mistakes,I really dont have the courage to go thru the post once again...All pardons for this!
