As the title states, I’ve been recently elected as a campus ambassador for my university. When I talk about my newly acquired job, people keep asking: Woah, nice… hummm, but what does it mean after all ? Here are my main responsabilities on this cool project:

  • Lead the Sun developer community on your campus by starting a Sun Open Source User Group
  • Run Sun Technology demo sessions as part of your user group meetings
  • Help support Sun events and contests
  • Evangelize Sun development tools to students, professors and researchers

So I’ll be posting here (or my own sun.com blog) my experiences on this new opportunity on my life as a computer enthusiast :-) There are a lot of new and amazing Open Source Sun initiatives to discover and explore, I’ll try to keep you all readers entertained with my findings !

In fact, jmmv has already greeted my on his blog in advance about a topic related to DTrace, thanks Julipedia ;-)

Thanks also to my favourite sysadmins for my new DTrace privileges needed to conduct my first tech talk ;)

*UPDATE*: Here’s my new Sun blog: http://blogs.sun.com/rvalls

    Sip, estic per la FIB :) Mira, pels telecos Sun té un tema interessant: els Sun SPOTs, són uns trastets curiosos per si vols fer algun PFC/experiment, fes-li una ullada ;)

    Interesant saber qui són els teus sysadmins favorits.

    M’agrada el peloteo ;)

    Wala quina passada els SPOTS aquests! Llàstima que he fet una mica tard, l’últim dia per demanar un per fer projectes era ahir! XD :( I per 550 euros més aviat em sembla que no me’l compraré :P

    Carai, estic subscrit a uns quants canals de la SDN (inclòs mobile) i aquestes coses no m’arriben :P

    Have a nice week
