Sun Guru – Phase II

I am a couple of days late in writing this note. But it is better to be late than never. The second phase of the Sun Guru program got over this evening. I had a role to play in this program during the last weekend and it was mainly to talk about the features of Solaris 10 to the teachers of some reputed Engineering Colleges in this part of the world. Last time when I took up a similar program, I had lost my voice completely about which I had written a blog entry as well. But this time ,thank heavens, no hiccups.

I don’t need to tell you how it feels to stand before an elderly audience and do a job, which they are so much accustomed to. This coupled with the fact that they all came from Institutes (PSG Coimbatore, NIT Suratkal, NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal), that produce some really good Engineers sent shivers down my spine. But such initial thoughts and feelings gave way for some serious discussions on the features of Solaris 10 that included SMF and Solaris Containers. I can safely mention here that my two days spent with them was indeed very productive. Unfortunately, I could not be a part of the last two days of this program, but I read about it here.

I must add here that the efforts that Vardhini is putting in organizing events like this is commendable. Many University students across this nation would derive enormous benefit out of programs of this sort. Unlike my college days, a majority of Engineering students would now know that there is a big computing world out here ready to be explored. I sincerely hope that several colleges in India take initiative to participate in this program and thereby make their students aware of the enormous opportunity that is available for them.
