The session started with Rahul introducing himself and his team,Mozilla and its Mission was discussed in detail ,also explaining the hierarchy existing within Mozilla.They were also provided insights regarding Open Source(introduction) and other Open source projects.
They were told about the contribution areas like:
- Webmaker
- Womoz
- Localization
- Geo Stumbling
- SuMo
- Marketplace
- Bugzilla, etc
It was an interactive session as the students were from the First year, full of zeal and energy ,they were very ethusiastic to learn about Mozilla.There were questions put for the students and swags were distributed for every single answer.
I was also overwhelmed by the response of the teachers who were also present there till the end of the session encouraging students to clear there queries and be more interactive.
After the end of session we were moving out for lunch and we came across a beautiful Rangoli of Firefox logo.
After the lunch session was resumed and we moved to the computer labs,we distributed ourselves evenly as there were 3 computer labs to see if everything goes .The agenda was App Development for Firefox OS, hands on Webmaker, and made the students learn about Thimble, X-ray goggles, etc, and made the register themselves on webmaker.org.
Aditya,Rahul and Vaibhav sir continued with there sessions on FxOS app development using HTML,CSS,JAVASCRIPT. I and vidit moved in and out of the labs clearing the queries and doubts of the students altogether.Meanwhile we also told them about etherpad and its advantages,students were very amused by its utility.
Due to shortage of time and net connectivity issues students were not able to make there apps,we asked them to have there hands-on at there home and if facing any difficulty contact us.
Finally we recruited Firefox Student Ambassadors by making them signup on fsa.mozilla.org, about 100+ students signed-up .
Lastly we winded up the session with a group photography with the Director(Oriental).
Last but not the least i would like to thank my mentor(Rahul Talreja) for giving me this opportunity to share and learn.
