With more than 100,000 members in 100 countries worldwide, Open-Source University Meet-Up (OSUM) is a student developer organization that educates its members about the latest open-source technologies. Through its on-campus activities, Sun sponsored OSUMs received access to technical information that were shared with OSUM members via technical demonstrations. Additionally, online web courses, through the Sun Academic Initiative program were available to the OSUM to provide an opportunity to get its members Sun Certified.
With an emphasis on markets such as India, China, Indonesia and Russia, Sun's Software Freedom Day events are designed to help developers on all levels to better understand and generate increased involvement in open source technologies.
Using its Open Source University Meetup (OSUM) network, Sun said it is networking together more than 25,000 students for student-run events. At each event, students will have the opportunity to hear from open source executives from local universities and participate in installation demonstrations, while networking with students, professors and developers from their region who are passionate about free and open source technology.
"In the OSUM Community, we believe that students can play a leadership role in promoting the adoption of free software and creating more equal access to opportunities through the use of participatory technologies," said Gary Serda, Global Manager of Academic Programs and Communities, Sun Microsystems. "Together, through all of our Software Freedom Day events, we are moving the world closer to a new world of opportunity and freedom for all people."
Sun offers several platforms, including MySQL, GlassFish, NetBeans, OpenSolaris, OpenJDK and OpenOffice.org.
