[advocacy-discuss] china trip in november

[Jim Grisanzio]

hey ... 

I was in China last week to meet some Sun guys (Shaoting, Chengzu Zhou, Edgar Liu), and participate in some very cool events around OSUGs and universities. 

* University Day at the Univ. of Science & Technology of China
* ACM/ICPC Programming Contest at Hefei 
* OSUG meeting at the Hefei University of Technology 
* OSUG meeting at the Fuzhou Software Park 

We met hundreds of young people using OpenSolaris, and professors and administrators who are following the project quite closely. These guys are all very interested in building community in China, of course, but we tried to also encourage them to participate in the main community in development projects and to start new user groups. It's a big world and it takes years to reach large numbers of people, but we are surely making progress. :)
