Open Source University Meetup

The Open Source University Meet-Up was a student developer organization sponsored by Sun Microsystems that educated its members about open-source technologies through technical demonstrations, access to web courses, and discounts on Sun Certification.[1]

History

Sun started the Open Source University Meet-Up as part of its program to help connect students in computer science to its technologies. Typically led by a campus ambassador or on-campus volunteer, Open Source University Meet-Ups exist in many countries.[2]

Purpose

The Open Source University Meet-Up was a place for Sun to connect student developers to Sun’s wide array of open source software platforms, following Sun’s initiatives to open-source all of its software technologies. As a whole it also helped give software developers, students, and other interested people an opportunity to learn more about open source software.[3]

gollark: Why? Because I'm impatient and fogging my stuff when it gets 1500 views is nicer than waiting ages for eggs to hatch.
gollark: I use hatchling club, AOND, draghatch, silvi's lair, valley sherwood, and occasionally egg drop soup.
gollark: Wait, it's spelt desipis?!
gollark: I mean, I guess so.
gollark: And also kind of annoyed that TJ09 never bothers to announce anything.
