[advocacy-discuss] Proposal for OpenSolaris Project: Newbies on OpenSolaris

[Thiago Pereira]

 Hello Advocacy Community,

I would like to submit the following project proposal to the Advocacy
Community.

*******************************************************************************

Proposal for OpenSolaris Project: Newbies on OpenSolaris
*******************************************************************************
********

*Description: *  --   How can we bring new users to OpenSolaris, without
teach the bases of Unix/Solaris (day by day utilization)? These information
are spread over the internet, sometimes in a very technical language, so we
would like to make a centralized point to users (in English and Portuguese)
using easier expressions.

*Location:* Sao Paulo, Brazil

*List of Community Groups Sponsoring the project: *
       Advocacy Community Group

*List of initial project team members:*

- Thiago Pereira  (Program Coordinator), primary contact - IT Operations,
Sun Microsystems - OpenSolaris ID: tap
- Valdinei Barbosa - Second contact - OpenSolaris ID: vbarbosa

**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
 opensolaris-newbies
at opensolaris dot org<opensolaris-champions%20at%20opensolaris%20dot%20org>.


*Proposed activities:*
- This group has the intention to make basic utilization tutorials about the
system, like "How I install Flash Player?", "How I update my JRE?", or even
"What is the command to change the ownership of one folder?" (day by day
utilization);
- Make basic step by step in English and Portuguese;
- Be in touch with another Brazilian communities;
- Help Brazilians OpenSolaris ambassadors with their communities,
conferences,...

Thanks guys

Thiago Pereira
