meetup

The first ever Mozilla South Asia community meet-up took place at beautiful Kathmandu, Nepal on 22-24^th February 2013, with the coordination from Mozilla Nepal regional community. The meet-up brought together community leaders from the South Asia, including Gen Kanai, Director of Asia Community Engagement at Mozilla to meet for 3 days of presentations, breakout sessions and discussions to plan the implementation of the Mozilla South Asia community road map for 2013 and ensure that the regional community is aligned with greater engagement efforts across the Mozilla organization.

Below is the brief summary of the Mozilla activities that took place during GNUnify'13 over a course of 3 days(February 15-17th) at SICSR, Pune. The idea was to target 3 major events at a time.

1. Friday, February 15: Firefox OS App Day Hackathon at GNUnify’13

2. Saturday, February 16: Mozilla participation at GNUnify’13

3. Saturday & Sunday, February 16-17: Mozilla India community meet-up at SICSR Campus.

Hey all, 

Mozilla has long been striving hard to take its message and mission to people all across the India and we finally have people noticing us. Thanks to all :) And we've got a great bunch of blokes down south - ReMos, StudentReps, SuMos - who really made and are making things happen.

But sadly, there hasn't been any meetup of sorts lately and yes, we're finally having one this weekend. Joining us for the meetup will be our very own Vineel - Community lead of Mozilla India. And we'll be gathering at Express Avenue Mall, Royapettah, Chennai this Sunday at around 7 p.m. in the evening for dinner (Mozcafe ?! Well, MozDinner actually ;)  ).

So, the mamas and maamis of Chennai ! We'll be delighted to have your company for the evening. And hey, we talk more than just Mozilla and Firefox.
