C/S Undergraduates Win OpenSolaris Community Innovation Award

Sun Microsystems, Inc. today (Sept. 18, 2008) announced the winners of the OpenSolaris(TM) Community Innovation Awards Program, designed to fuel innovation around OpenSolaris.

The OpenSolaris program included both a contest and a student grant component and was part of Sun's Open Source Community Innovation Awards Program, a multi-year program running across several open source communities with a $1 Million total prize.

Six teams of undergraduate students won grants for projects to be completed in December 2008. One of those teams consisted of three computer science students (Antonin Brjetchka, Drew Garrett, and Dante Avery) from our department with Sanjiv Bhatia as Faculty Advisor. Here are links to the MarketWatch article and also the winning proposals.

Sanjiv Bhatia participated in a podcast interview with some of the other winners in this competition.
