Hi All,

here is my blog for the MozCoffee, we have planned it all of a sudden and i looked for a new venue b'coz there is free wifi available there. All Mozillians Met at noon and we were very exited to meet Faisal Aziz who recently settled down back in Bhopal. This meet is actually to discuss all the difficulties that are coming in the path of local volunteers in between the contribution and what  So we started with the Areas like Banners, Venue, Private Transport Reimbursement etc.

Then three new Womoz joined us from My college Gyan Ganga Institute of Technology and Mgmt
they are the product of Womaniya. They are already know about Mozilla Mission vision and Contribution. But they are lack of knowledge how to contribte in different areas like SUMO L10n AOA , Webmaker etc. So Arpit started to teach them Webmaker tools.

MozMaker @ Oriental University Indore

Hello Folks!

This time I am going to tell you about the event “MozMakers"

Venue: Oriental University Indore

Date: 29/05/2014

It is Couple of week ago, Shafique Invited me Indore. So me(Vaibhav Bajaj) and Rahul Talreja both from Bhopal planned to go Indore. We were little late at the event.

Firstly, Shafique Patni took the deice and gave the Introduction of Mozilla, Explained the Mozilla Mission, Contribution Areas. Students listened to him very nicely and also they interacted with some question pop up in their mind. He also explained the benefits of contributing in Mozilla. After this, He explained the Web maker Project and its mission to make people web Literate with its three tools: Thimble, Popcorn and Goggle X-ray. Out of these three he took session on Popcorn and X-ray Goggle. The students enjoyed a lot by learning the Web maker tools.

 After that he called up Deep Raj for Thimble session and Explain the FSA. What FSA is? What FSA do? FSA activities. Deep Raj took the Thimble session so nicely also he explained some tags of HTML5.

 After his part he called me (Vaibhav Bajaj) to tell them about a small but amazing tool of Mozilla “Etherpad” or “MoPad”. Students are very surprised and exited after learning about MoPad. I asked them its Uses, They answered me: for planning, for meeting, for discussion and for chatting :D

  

After the MoPad, I tell them a little about how the websites track us, what we should do for that, what losses we have. I told them to go in Tools => Options => Privacy => “Tell sites that I don’t want to be tracked”

And after me again Shafique took a small session on Light Beam explaining students with the demo that how you are tracked by third party sites and how you can stop them using Light Beam and other browser settings. He called some new Mozillians which are doing awesome. And asked them about the contribution area and explained it students:

 Rahul Talreja gave Demo on Army of Awesome, How to reply tweets, how we got ranked on right side of AoA page Worldwide.

One more Mozillian, Shubham Geete also gave demo how to contribute in Localization project. How can we convert the lines into our own language.

After this we distributed Swags and meet to the Director, captured photos with students and Mozillians. This is how the event was. And all the things in detail and at the best of my memory! I enjoyed the snacks with Mozillians of Community Indore. It was a very good opportunity to interact with the students of Indore.

Thanks !

Meet up @ WoManiya :)

          Hello Mozillians ! 

          Today, I want to share about the meetup held at Frespresso Cafe   Dated : 19/01/2014.

   
          After the discussion on ether pad we decided to fix a meet up so that everyone can put on his/her views and we also got different ideas for the event.

Till Now :

We planned how we will utilize two days and created Agenda also we have discussed roles and work areas.

Today: 

We have to think about the other things which are not big but a part of our event

Like : Food, Sound, Internet connectivity, projector, Flex design, poster design, social awareness  and I-card design also.

Out of these issues/topics/remaining things, we had discussed mainly for the Designing part and no. of registration for students because these are the basic and priority things for an event.

Designing Part: 

For this work we have a designing star Prince, and designing mentor JafarMuhammed who is capable of designing each and everything and know how to play with pictures and graphics.
He also has skills to guide other volunteers (e.g. Saket Jain) to make help him in that work.

Publicity Mediums :

We had a great discussion over this topic everyone was giving their points. At the end we conclude that we can :-

•    Go to different colleges (in Bhopal there are 130 engineering colleges and 20 Degree colleges) and talk to the head of IT/CS about the event, give them a short intro of the Mozilla & its Mission.

•  Opt press as an option to publish our news in their media (if they agree for free).

•  Flex on college buses.

• Posters in College notice board.

• Blogs and pages on social networking sites.

• Post the event news or posters frequently so that students talk about it thoroughly.

• Approach to coaching Institutes like T.I.M.E. and others.

This was the discussion in which we enjoyed and discussed a lot of things for the event

Also I was the organiser of SIRT event, Bhopal. I vanished my stage-fear from Mozilla events and I increased my confidence level in some areas like Webmaker and Firefox OS App.

I got proudly invited in the Maker Party : Bangalore 2013 Hive India (Pop-up Event), there in maker party I amazed to saw the working 3D printer and an awesome hack-space Jaaga and many more new creative and amazing things.

I Learnt a ton of things. Also i enjoyed a lot...! Now, My name is also in the Mozilla contributor list about:credit page.                                                                                                                                                                              Love You Mozilla ! You give me a lot... I will always with you and spread the open source to the world.

#KitchenTable 25/07/13

Hi all, I am very Excited to share my experience of my first #KitchenTable with all of you. And sorry for sharing late. From when Maker Party is announced, a person is continuously motivating me to take a session in school or plan for a kitchen table and prepared me for that is no one but Komal_ji_Gandhi, yes she is the person who is always there to support me. Now without wasting time I would like to come to the point as said above, I had decided and planed a #KitchenTable to #teachtheweb. In this kitchen table the participants are my colony mates(students between 7th standard to 12th standard) they are five in numbers. I used to play outdoor games with them.

 On the day I shared my plan of Kitchen Table with them, they are very excited to know more about Mozilla and presurised me to take the event in a week. I arranged the #KitchenTable for them and then i started explaining about Mozilla, Its Products, What is Web?, What is the meaning of Open Source?, How we can Use the Web?, And Finally The #Webmaker tools Thimble, Hackasaurus and Popcorn.

While teaching them I looked at them, all are curious of what's happening and want to know the web better.After 30mins of knowledge sharing by me, they combined prepared a post card and a Popcorn by capturing a video of neighbor's empty house.
