Advocacy

Our Charter:

The Research Triangle Park OpenSolaris User's Group (RTP-OSUG) charter is to drive OpenSolaris awareness and adoption within the Research Triangle Park area, targeting both the academic and the professional communities. There are a large number of Solaris installations in the area along with active open source advocacy groups including Linux User's Groups and a Perl Mongers group. Our goal is to create more awareness of OpenSolaris within these communities and within the RTP area.
