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.
