Project Description:
The purpose of this project is to drive OpenSolaris awareness and
adoption within the Research Triangle Park area, targeting both the academic
and the professional communities. There are a large number of Solaris
installations in the area along with active open source advocacy groups
including a Linux Users Group and a Perl Mongers group. Our goal is to create
more awareness of Open Solaris within this community.
Project Needs:
This project requires space on the opensolaris.org portal and two mailing
lists. Suggested list names are rtp-announce-osug at opensolaris dot org and
rtp-discuss-osug at opensolaris dot org
.
Related Projects:
We intend to work closely with the other OSUGs to help drive awareness and
share knowledge through talks, tutorials and related material.
Proposed activities:
We plan on establishing a meeting place and a calendar of monthly meetings and
presentations about OpenSolaris technologies. The presentation material
resulting from those talks will be made available on our website.
In addition to presentation material we will promote the creation of
HowTo technical documentation to assist in OpenSolaris deployments and we'll
use space allocated on the portal to make all documentation available to the
public.
We will establish contact with existing open source user groups and
will collaborate with those communities.
