[Campus Report] Successful month May in Switzerland
Hi all
Within the month may I could hold 3 demos. I mainly focused on the Solaris OS and on Sun Spots.
Here some facts:
9.5.08 17:00 -> SUN Spot. 20 people attended despite it was bbq weather outside on this lovely friday evening.
The students showed much interest in this new technology and wanted to know how they could be ordered.
We set up a system on which our 4 spots we have could be lend out.
16.5.08 17:00 -> Solaris Zones. Only 11 people attended (it was a hot day again). But the students asked a lot of interesting questions
(eg. one asked me to do a rm -rf / on the root FS of one zone. You can see what happens if you try it in one of your test zones, too)
30.5.08 17:00 -> Solaris ZFS. 13 people attended. (once again, bbq weather
. The presentation only took about 5 minutes. But afterwards I did a live demo
which took until 18:00
As always, the students showed a lot of interest.
So the month May was of great success for me and for my university. I hope I will attract even more people the next semester. Now I’m out of Solaris CDs and
SUN pens. I still have loads of T-Shirts because I don’t give them away for free. They always have to answer a tricky question.
Much changed since I held the presos. Everyone knows (and greets) me on the hallway now and I’m always asked a lot of questions during the breaks and in
the evening (by mail, IM, etc.) on different Solaris, Java, SunSPOTs questions. It simply rockz to be an ambassador.
Thank you Sun and thank you University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Central Switzerland.
I wish all of you a great summer time and hope to see you again next semester.
Regards from the “Football Country” Switzerland
