Proposal for Bhimavaram OpenSolaris User Group Project (BVRM-OSUG)
Purpose: To drive awareness and adoption of OpenSolaris in the
Bhimavaram region in India.
List of Community Groups Sponsoring the project:
Advocacy Community Group
List of project team members:
G V Padmaraju (OS id: gvpraju), primary contact
Raju Alluri (OS id: sspurthi)
Project Description: The purpose of this project is to drive OpenSolaris
awareness amongst student and professional community in this area. The
professional community is a minority in this region, so the target
audience will mostly be students. We want to increase OpenSolaris
adoption in labs and student projects. We also plan to contribute
documentation and small code changes back to the community. We want the
help of the college alumni in the industry to guide us in these efforts.
The project will also archive its contributions like student projects,
presentations, and other material to the project space on the
OpenSolaris site.
Project Needs: This project requires project space on OpenSolaris.org
site. The project also requires a mailing list. Suggested list name is
ug-bvrmosug at opensolaris dot org.
Related Projects: We would like to closely watch the successful user
groups and see if we can work with them to do related activities.
Related past activities: We have done a few workshops in this region in
the last 3 years, where at least one of the expert talks or hands-on
sessions has been based on Solaris/OpenSolaris technologies. These
workshops are attended by students in this region to the tune of 200
attendees per event.
