Adelaide OpenSolaris Group Proposed | 01/31/2008

Proposal Posted 31-Jan-2008

Proposal for Adelaide OpenSolaris User Group Project (ADL-AUOSUG)

Purpose:

To drive awareness and adoption of OpenSolaris in Adelaide, Australia.

List of Community Groups Sponsoring the project:

  • Advocacy Community Group

List of project team members:

  • Alex Sims (OS id: softgrow), primary contact
  • Derek Munneke (OS id: nextfaze)
  • David Lloyd (OS id: lloy0076)

Project Description:

The purpose of this project is to drive OpenSolaris awareness and adoption amongst the enthusiast and industry community in Adelaide, Australia.

The target audience is initially UNIX enthusiasts who use UNIX at home or work. We perceive that a significant number of UNIX enthusiasts in the area will be interested in meeting and exchanging ideas about OpenSolaris and related technologies. We want to contribute documentation and small code changes back to the community. Once established we could broaden scope to include students and would encourage adoption of OpenSolaris in student projects.

The project will archive its contributions, presentations, and other material to the 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 ug-adl-auosug at opensolaris.org.

Proposed activities:

Since this would be first OSUG in our area, we will send an invitation mail to everyone interested in OpenSolaris to join us. Activities that could then follow include technical meetings and installfests.
