In partnership with the Philippine Society of Information Technology Students (PSITS)-COMTECH Chapter, a two-part OpenSolaris Installfest event kicks in on August 7, 2010 right at the Creative Technologies and Convergence Center, COMTECH INSTITUTE. This is a campus-wide event inviting all IT students and enthusiasts to have fun deploying Opensolaris Operating System via VirtualBox.

The event aims to showoff demo skills from students in a peer-mentoring scheme as duly supervised by instructors. Further, we aim to promote in general, the FOSS awareness and enhance student skills and exposures in virtualization. The participants will come to hear and see the best of OpenSolaris features from easy installation and usability high points.

The event is just one of the series intended for students and to roll out fully this year. We are thankful for our sponsors and for the committee members behind this event. Each student participant will receive an OpenSolaris LiveCD, hand-outs and other promotional materials. Join us!
