Sun Club Inaugurated in TCE!!

with 2 comments

 The Sun Club(Sun forum) of our college has been inaugurated.The function took place at the K.M auditorium of our college.(not good acoustics though !! )the  number of students who came for the function exceeded 300, we were quite surprised!!!

We had invited Mr. Ganesh Hiregoudar  from Sun to inaugurate the club but as he was not able to come due to inevitable reasons, our Principal and HOD accepted to inaugurate the club.

The registration for the Sun Club was also done immediately at the end of function and almost all those who attended the function registered for the club activities.

This is actually a forum which will serve as the point of contact for all activities related to Sun microsystems. I would say this is an excellent initiative taken by the college  The Club was inaugurated by our HOD, Dr.R.Rajaram. He spoke on the importance of FOSS based tools and softwares. Then there was a talk on computers in the past and present by the HOD of IT Dr. U.Nirai Chandran.

Then I spoke on what is Sun Club and its proposed activities. I started from various products of Sun, and then towards,  the way in which the Club will function and so on.I spoke on arranging for project interns, arranging seminars, workshops and hands on sessions for the various products from SUN including Open Solaris, Java, NetBeans etc.

We had very good support from  our staff-co-ordinators, Ms Subhatra and Mr.Emil Selvan. They spent a lot of time with us and helped us in organising this event.

The Club’s mailing list can be joined http://mail.tce.edu/mailman/listinfo/sunclub .

These are a few activities that have been planned.

  • Certification Programmes
  • Project Internships
  • Workshops/Seminars/Hands-on sessions
  • Lectures from Sun people
  • Regular classes on great sun tech stuff including OpenSolaris, Java, Netbeans

This time i took pics ;-) and will be uploading them soon ………

a successful session about sun club !!!

without comments

hello all , this was the first ever meeting about sun club . I conducted it for the second and
first year students on January 31 st (Well blogging it late as usual ;-) . I booked the KS auditorium of our college and nearly 210 people came to the meeting. I spoke for one hour and fifteen minutes giving people introduction on the following,

1. Sun Microsystems- its excellence as a “technology” company
2. Cool products of Sun
Java – J2SE, J2ME, J2EE
NFS
Open Solaris – its features like ZFS,

dtrace,and

i told them what are zones
We had demo session on dtrace . Bala did that for many who wanted to see the cool new tool !

2.Netbeans
3.what is SDN
4.Open Source and Free Software
5.how to get benefitted from SAI
6.What is Open Sparc
This was just an inroductory session to what we are going to teach them through out the year.
We have planned to form a Sun Club in our college soon and
we are planning the inauguration session to be conducted as soon as
possible.
I was really stunned by the overwhelming response!!! ( I
had already went to all classes privately and i spoke to people and
canvassed them to attend the meeting and join the sun club) I did a
mistake by forgettin to take the camera with me!!!
It was a grand success and i hope i can make our sun
club very successful one!!

campus ambassador for sun !!

without comments

well i am blogging after a long time  !!!

I recently got selected as the campus ambassador of Sun microsystems. Our principal and Hod had taken initiative for this programme and here i am !! There was an interview which was not too technical  and they just tested if we were  good at basics and were able to communicate.

I got through the interview and i am quite happy about it . I am really lookin forward to do things to justify my selection as an ambassador and importantly to promote more tech stuff in the campus and help students to learn .
