The GLOSS Newsletter

GLOSS has its newsletter out!!!!

The past academic year was very eventful at GLOSS and we decided to put the major events in form of a newsletter. So here we are, with the first issue of OpenView ! Get your copy here!

And that's how GLOSS celebrates technology!

Everyone was celebrating the release of OpenSolaris on May 5th, and at GLOSS, we have been busy planning the same for quite some time.. It was no doubt one of the most awaited event since Project Indiana was declared. So.. as I told everyone before.. we celebrated May 5th as Opensolaris Birthday... Smile There was cake.. there was decorations.. there were people with celebration mood and there was the latest Technology!!!

What it Feels Like Being a Sun Campus Ambassador!

Today I complete full FIVE MONTHS as a Campus Ambassador for Sun Microsystems! Ask me how it feels to be a CA??? I can say only one thing... "Man.. You got the be a CA to know how it feels to be one!". I always believe that examples are the best, in fact the only way, to get your point across in a conversation. But unfortunately nothing I have ever come across matches the excitement which have been experiencing while working as a CA at Sun. Thats why.. no examples or comparisons.

GLOSS LAB SESSIONS - Getting the feel!

Feb is a hectic month with so many works to do!! But then, GLOSS is always good at finding quality time with latest technologies! Smile So on Saturday 16th of FEB, I organized a Lab Session for GLOSS where the agenda was really tight! OpenSolaris-Netbeans-Web technologies with PHP and MySQL!! We had more 5 hours at hand so I thought we can complete everything but then.. People loved Solaris so much that I had to show it to all for more than 2 hours!! Then we came to using netbeans!!

GLOSS in FEB

At GLOSS, we spent most of our time in Jan, in getting acquainted with netbeans! And now in just 8 days it looks to be that already most of us GLOSSers are having an affair with netbeans! Smile

Anyways as university will be closed for most of the time for the pongal holidays next week and then will come the most dreaded mid-sem examinations, so I though it was high time thinking what to do in FEB... well in FEB GLOSS with try to have a good stab at Open Solaris!

Last-Day-Of-First Week.. With Netbeans!

The last day of the first week of this new year was yet another interesting day. Most of the students who attended the seminar on C,C++,JAVA in netbeans, if put in their own words, were "Desparate with a capital D" to have it installed on their systems and start using it! So, I scheduled a small  install-fest in Sandipani Sadan, the boys hostel for the first year students.
