Firefox Flicks 2013 | MozCamp Asia, Singapore

This past November, we did a 'Firefox Flicks 2013' session at MozCamp Asia, Singapore. MozCamps are intensive, multiple-day gatherings that occur in strategic locations around the world. More than 200 passionate Mozillians from all over Asia Pacific and the Middle East who are contributors to all areas of the Mozilla project took part in MozCamp Asia.

The 'Firefox Flicks 2013' session was hosted by Galaxy and Vineel(myself) on behalf of Tobias Leingruber, works on the Flicks project. We started the session with talking about the background of Firefox Flicks, highlights from Flicks 2012, the awesome Hollywood judges, the amazing community events across the world, screening of winning videos from 2006 and 2012, followed by brief update on Flicks 2013 - the objectives, timeline, how to get involved and gathering ideas.

The Goal of 'Firefox Flicks 2013' is to Engage the Firefox contributor community and Mozilla Reps to drive a film-creation process that builds awareness of, and excitement for, the Firefox OS. The timeframe for Flicks 2013 is January-September 2013.

We had around 15 attendees who were excited about the re-launch of the contest. Alex Wafula, and his team who were at the session, who hosted successful Flicks events this year at Kenya is all game for 2013 :)
