Dear OGB,
Could you please review this proposal to see if I can set up University
of Melbourne OpenSolaris User Group?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Proposal for University of Melbourne OpenSolaris User Group Project
(UNIMELB-OSUG)
Purpose: To promote OpenSolaris in the the University of Melbourne,
Victoria, Australia
List of Community Groups Sponsoring the project:
Advocacy Community Group
List of project team members:
Zhiqi Tao (OS id: zhiqitao), primary contact
Project Description:
The purpose of this project is to promote OpenSolaris and create local
community among students and researchers in the University of Melbourne.
Our ultimate goal is to cultivate OpenSolaris users in University of
Melbourne curriculum and related student projects, and improve campus
support for OpenSolaris and related distributions primarily through free
education and mutual support. We anticipate that current Unimelb faculty ,
staff and students may be willing to make significant contributions towards
these efforts because Solaris has already dominate servers in Computer
Science and Software Engineering department.
The project will archive such contributions as relevant student
projects, presentations, documentation, code, and other material to its
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 unimelb at
opensolaris dot org.
Related Projects:
We plan to closely monitor the activities of MSOSUG and nearby OSUGs, as
well as the local Linux and Unix user groups, in order to seek out
opportunities for collaborative OpenSolaris promotion in the region. We will
also actively promote Sun University Day if it would be held in our campus.
Proposed activities:
We plan to initiate workshops and user group meetings in University of
Melbourne campus, with a focus on promoting the competitive advantages
of using an OpenSolaris distribution for research, development, and
teaching. Stage 1 of this will be to gather membership and further
support from the university and community. Stage 2 will be active
development of promotional activities, drawing both upon local
experience and materials already produced by the OpenSolaris community.
Further activities will be determined as demand and our community grow.
