Sun Tech Days 2007 kicked of in Hyderabad on a grand note. I reached there only by the middle of the day as I had to sneak into one of our partner’s site to see how much of Solaris installations were over for Stacy’s Ajax session on Friday. Amazingly, the guys out there had completed installation of Solaris 10 DE on over 80 machines over night. Considering the fact that most of the guys who were performing the installation of Solaris 10 Developer Edition were new to Solaris OE, this is a major achievement. I must thank the following people, who turned their night into day to work hard and complete the installation of Solaris 10 DE on hundred x86 boxes in just under two days: Shijith (RPS Consulting), Rajesh (NIIT ), Ravikanth(NIIT), Sreedhara Moorthy (Digital Media Technologies Ltd.), S Venugopal (Digital Media Technologies Ltd.), A Purushotham (Digital Media Technologies Ltd.), E Giribabu (Digital Media Technologies Ltd.), J Satish Kumar Reddy (Digital Media Technologies Ltd.). I wonder whether such a massive scale of installation of the newly released Solaris 10 Developer Edition has happened elsewhere. Let me also make it clear here that the guys involved in this whole process, were using the Solaris 10 DE DVD to install on each machine individually. Amazing job folks.
I went to the Sun Tech Days 2007 venue in the afternoon, but wasn’t in a position to sit through any of the tracks going on in there. That didn’t really stop me from moving around with my camera capturing pictures. One of them, you would see below:
At around 7:00 P.M. the renowned singer in this part of the world K.K rocked the stage with some of the Sun Tech Days delegates dancing all around him. I managed to use my mobile to take some pictures then. Sorry about the clarity of the same.
A few other photographs that I took today using my camera are displayed below. The resolution of the pictures are auto adjusted once you click on it.
Meanwhile, let me spend some time trying to figure out what little role did I play in the large scale Solaris 10 DE installation that happened in a day or so. Well, my role in this success could be negligible, for the folks about whom I talked about in the beginning of this entry did one hell of a job to get things moving. Thanks guys.
