mozilla

Hi all,

I am Srikar Ananthula,REMO of Hyderabad,AndhraPradesh.

On the occassion of "Engineers Day" i.e. on 15th Sep 2012,I have conducted session on "Mozilla Introduction and its Products" at Vignana Bharathi Institute Of Technology,which  is loacted in the outskirts of the Hydeabad i.e.at Aushapur.

There where almost 60-70 students who had very actively participated in the session.

Intially there was the introdution to mozilla,What is mozilla,what are the products of mozilla and their details.

Even there was interactive quiz session in which students have participated by answering the questions regarding the mozilla.

It was very good interacting with the students and people are very much happy to know regarding the mozilla.

One of the faculty from the college VBIT(Vignana Bharathi Institute Of Technology) "V.Sridhar Reddy Sir" who is the coordinator of CINE(Computer Science And Information Technology Network Engineers Branch Association of CSE and IT Dep) helped me a lot in organising that session in the college.

There was fun with students in answering various questions regarding the mozilla.

Lots of goodies are distributed for the students who answered qestions.

It went very well and everyone was so excited about this.

Thanks a lot for mozilla for sending the goodies in time so that every thing went accordingly.

“Software Freedom Day” is a worldwide celebration to create awareness on GNU/Linux and other various Free Open Source Software to the public.

Indian Linux Users Group – Chennai [ http://ilugc.in ] and Free Software Foundation TamilNadu [ http://fsftn.org ] organised Software Freedom Day on September 15, 2012 in collaboration with Department of Computer Science, DG vaishnav College, Arumbakkam, Chennai at SRG auditorium, in the college premises.

I (Karthik) represented Mozilla Org. in this SFD 2012 event by putting up the Mozilla stall and explained to the visitors more about Mozilla and its products. It was very great since this was my first event where I have interacted with the public representing Mozilla INDIA. Moreover,

Around 1200 students from various colleges visited the stalls. Faculties from other departments of DG vaishnav College and faculties from colleges like Anna adharsh, SDNB Vaishnav College, Chrompet visited the stalls.

30 stalls on various topics including (My stall about Mozilla) were there...

Stalls :

1. Mozilla and its Products

2. Android Application Development

3. Screencasting

At the Mozilla Delhi/NCR monthly meet-up organized in June, Mozilla Rep Kinshuk Sunil introduced the very concept of Mozilla Summer Code Party and Webmaker to the Student Reps, which instigated the idea of encouraging those, who “USE” the web but do not know the “WORKING” behind it, to learn "how web works" and the associated technologies.

With the same thought in mind, we at Bharati Vidyapeeth’s College of Engineering, New Delhi, conducted the Mozilla Summer Code Party in the last week of August, 2012.

We tried to make it as close to the original concept of kitchen tables and small-group learning as we could.

The Day 1 of the event was 27^th of August, the Monday, when the event kick-started with an introductory session on the concept of Mozilla Summer Code Party, its agenda and the Mozilla Student Reps program.

This was followed by introduction to the Summer of Code by the GSoC-er, Rishab Arora from the host college. He talked about how to proceed and quoted instances from his own GSoC experience this year. Thereafter, Kinshuk Sunil had a real long interaction on Open Source and Open Web with the participating audience and not only demonstrated various examples from the current scenario to make the beliefs of the Open Community valid but also cleared the doubts of the audience on the concept.

The day ended with a session on Wordpress by the organizers, Devesh Batra and Akshay Katyal.

The Mozilla India Community meeting is scheduled to start at 10:00 pm IST today, i.e. 5th August 2012 at #india on irc.mozilla.org.

Looking forward to seeing everybody there!! :-)

Hey all ,

            I am excited to share my experience of my first Mozilla sponsored event held last Sunday (July – 1 – 2012 ). It is also the first ever Mozilla community Meetup in Erode , on the same day we also inaugurated Mozilla Erode Community.

            It was a beautiful Sunday , I expected participant count around 13 but the turn up was not bad there were about 10 participants among which majority are student reps. Program scheduled to kick off by 11 AM due to few late arrival of participants , we are   forced to start the program by 20 min late.

            I started with the Introduction on FOSS and Mozilla , not even I expanded the term FOSS but the participants already started to shootout their questions.After clarifying their doubts and I proceed with my introduction session. Participants kept on asking questions and hence I ended the Introduction session by 12.30. Next we had a break to have a drink to refresh our self.

            Next we , inaugurated and welcomed Mozilla Erode Community with a cut on the cake. We made a little girl ( next generation Web Maker ) to cut the cake and we all had a taste of it.
