Who Are WE?

OSUM (Open Source University Meet-Up): Open Source University Meetup is a student developer organization sponsored by Sun Microsystems that educates its members about open-source technologies through technical demonstrations, access to web courses, and discounts on Sun Certification.
How it started ??
Sun started the Open Source University Meet-Up as part of its program to help connect students in computer science to its technologies. Typically lead by a campus ambassador or on-campus volunteer, Open Source University Meet-Ups exist in many countries.

What is the Purpose of this ??
The Open Source University Meet-Up is a place for Sun to connect student developers to Sun’s wide array of open source software platforms, following Sun’s initiatives to open-source all of its software technologies. As a whole it also helps give software developers, students, and other interested people an opportunity to learn more about open source software.

How we do this ??
Through its on-campus activities, Sun sponsored OSUMs (Club Members) will receive access to technical information that can be shared with OSUM members via technical demonstrations. Additionally, online web courses, through the Sun Academic Initiative program will be available to the OSUM to provide an opportunity to get its members Sun Certified.
Sun will provide a social networking web site for all registered OSUMs. This online presence will enable the OSUM community to connect with other student developers worldwide. OSUMs can collaborate online in forums and community groups with other student developers who share their technical interests.
Overall, the OSUM is a one-stop community that will expand the educational training and social interaction of the up-and-coming tech-savvy student preparing to enter the global workforce.
