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.
