The Sun Campus Ambassador program is alligned towards the same goal. Sun has hired 500 campus ambassadors in universities all over the world to promote open source technologies. We conduct tech talks, workshops, demos and other events in our respective colleges to promote the cause. Our primary role as CA's is to establish an open campus user group with regular monthly meetings discussing topics of interest. Only difference between such user groups and regular LUG's established in colleges is that it is formalized and funded by Sun Microsystems. We are also responsible to contact our faculty and college administration to use open source technologies. Many campus ambassadors have established full-fledge Java User Groups and OpenSolaris User Groups under ths CA program.
