Being Proud - GLOSS


Hello ppl,
Today, I'm very proud to feel that I'm part of one of the fastest growing team of this world. Nevertheless I mean our GLOSS developers' team. It had always been my dream to work in a team. I usually feel jealous when one of those guys from infosys comment in every wednesday's opportunity paper about the team work that happens in their company. And this time I'm very much surprised to see me working as a part and parcel for GLOSS. It's always amazing and innovative to spend time with GLOSS Dev. team. You can really feel the uniqueness of every single person here. The timely jokes, sentiments, brotherhood that we get are priceless and the thoughts that we share with the cutting edge ideas, we come up with give us a great go...

Sooner we are going to take up projects in OpenSolaris and add to it a series of educational softwares and make it enough for students to use and get benefitted from.

Everyday the signs of development of GLOSS shows me the better part of it for being the No 1 contributor in the open source field. The young team of ours in the first year coming up with a lot of enthusiasm shows that we could reach GLOSS to greater heights.

Cheers to GLOSS that it keeps us engaged with lots of techie stuff and makes our IQ in every sphere sharper. We as in a team promise that we'd never let GLOSS lose its identity and vanish away into the dark...

It usually happens this way...

Now-a-days it's becoming a very usual thing for us, the GLOSS dev. team to sit together, discuss and have fun. This day started off when it was already about 4 in the evening when Abhishek had invited us for a cup of coffee outside the SASTRA campus. We all had a very splendid time discussing topics that could brighten up our life and the way it goes. We were really inspired and quite after that we started to frame the constitution of GLOSS. For nothing to stop us, we had a pen and found a 'JK copier' paper to write upon. We created the cutting edge preamble of gloss that could sustain it for generations and spread it's work of greatness to every world possible. It was really proud when we people signed it and took a few decisions for the immediate future of GLOSS. Now a newsletter is yet to be released. Will make you all guys aware when that happens.

It usually happens this way... we start with a cup of coffee and end up creating something innovative everytime. No matter why we are called as MyJavaGuys by Abhishek...

The Gloss Sunday - The Sun University Day Celebrations...




The Sun University Day celebrations at SASTRA was really unforgettable for me. I was in the organising part of the workshop that was conducted by GLOSS and it was all fun and enjoyment. It gave me and my fellow people a great Sunday. The day started off with the registrations which simply made us feel the pleasure of being as an organising team. The morning session gave the ideas about OpenSolaris and introduced us to the concepts of Operating Systems, Hardware, Interface, etc. It was really mind boggling to see the power of OpenSolaris and it's cool distro. The whole of the participants present over there were deeply involved into Abhishek's seminar. With the announcement of a short bio-break, I thought that the crowd level would become really down since anything sounding Non-Windows could prove them boring. But the case was not that. People were really impressed and wanted to know about the potential of OpenSolaris and it's further features. The seminar ran upto 1:10 almost and it was time for the lunch. The lunch was arranged at the SASTRA - Krishna Canteen and the menu was Veg. Pulav and Paneer Butter Masala. The taste was so exotic and I felt very hard to drag myself to the conference hall. But having no other option than being there, I went to attend and organise the rest of the workshop, i.e. the second session. In second session half of the members were asked to assemble at the CAD/CAM lab to get a hands on experience of working with VitualBox and OpenSolaris. The other half were given a seminar about how they could reap the maximum out of NetBeans IDE 6.0. Abhishek proved his potential to all of them by explaining even tougher things in a light and easily understandible way. His proper quoting of examples from various sources made people get inspired by him, a lot!!! He proved to be a proper hero, a Antonio of the day in convincing people to move towards the emerging open source applications with focus towards OpenSolaris and NetBeans IDE. It was really good. His pleasant words, proper answers for the questions raised would have really made any equals of him feel jealous about him. Throughout he worked hard with his throat and mind. People like me and other associated volunteers of GLOSS took various pictures of this marked day as we didn't want to miss any of the moments there. The day was smoothly fuctioning without any nuisance till the end. The participants were interviwed and were asked to give their feedbacks about their opinion and stuff. It was all great going...
More to be added... ;)
