==History==
Sun started the Open Source University Meet-Up as part of its program to help connect students in computer science to its technologies. Typically led by a campus ambassador or on-campus volunteer, Open Source University Meet-Ups exist in many countries.<ref name=sunmap>[http://developers.sun.com/students/osum/index.jsp Campus Ambassadors Map]</ref>

==Purpose==
The Open Source University Meet-Up was a place for Sun to connect student developers to Sun’s wide array of open source software platforms, following Sun’s initiatives to open-source all of its software technologies. As a whole it also helped give software developers, students, and other interested people an opportunity to learn more about open source software.<ref name=iowaosum>[http://www.iowaosum.com/about About OSUM]</ref>
