Greetings, I am Santhosh, President of OSUM Community, Arunai OSUM, Sun Microsystems, perusing my bachelors degree in computers in Arunai Engineering College. I used to to contribute to many open source events in my college and in my locality. I have given many talks on Open Solaris, D-Trace, ZFS in my college and in my nearby college in our locality. Nearly 600+ students have enrolled under my leadership and are being trained under java, open solaris, Netbeans,Glassfish and Mysql.
I found no active groups for open solaris in my locality, many dosen't know about solaris. Hence we started to train many students on Open Solaris and I have undertook a project of Installing Solaris in our labs and deploying it. I think it would be useful for us, if We start a new OSUM community in our locality( Thiruvannamalai, TamilNadu, INDIA) as here we have a mix of rural and urban people, I find it difficult to make the club myself without any support. Kindly look into all the credentials, I pursue and agree in starting up of the new OSUG Community in my locale.
