SFD 09 eve

Sun Club celebrated Software Freedom Day with BIT Linux User Group on 18 sept. We had more than 50 attendees and three speakers. We started off by giving a general introduction to FOSS (Free and open Source Software) and Sun's contribution towards open source. We introduced OpenSolaris to the attendees and distributed live CDs of OpenSolaris. After that we had an introduction to java and netbeans. We demonstrated a few simple tools of netbeans and showed project building on it. Then we showed them a few other open source tools like drupal. A QnA session was conducted immediately after this. We distributed sling bags for the most appropriate answers.
We are looking forward to organize more of such events in near future, so stay tuned.
