This is the day i have been waiting for the last two years of my Engineering. The "Mega Event" as i named it happened in the auditorium of Jai Narain College Of Technology. The reason why we had it was we had a mission to make Mozilla a class-hold name in our college. Every once in a while a revolution comes along, there are three types of people involved, the first who cause the revolution,the second who are part of the revolution and the third and final one who ignore the revolution. Luckily this event had a neglegible amount of third type! And in total we had 350+ students of 5 braches of just first year, and trust me you could sense the momentum in the air.
Now in this event we talked about various stuff, but the key thing was to make it as simple as possible so that the students could feel a connection. We had following topics on which my team spoke on:
1.)Introduction & History of Mozilla
2.)Products Of Mozilla :
A.) Firefox Browser
B.)Webmaker
C.)Thinderbird Mailing Client
D.)Firefox OS
E.) Marketplace
3.) Introduction To Firefox Friends
4.)Introduction To Firefox Students Ambassador Program
5.)Benefits And Recognitions in FSA
6.)How To Contribute In Mozilla
As the event started i began with the introduction of Mozilla, its community and its history. It felt insanely amazing to witness such a reception from students who were new to this revolution. The introduction was delivered in such a way that they can understand what Mozilla is all about. Then i invited Shubham Shrivastava to introduce webmaker to the students
As the event proceeded Shubham explained how webmaker helps people with absolutley no knowledge of coding to create something amazing,how Mozilla helps to bring the right tools at the right places possible. Within few seconds one can build a easy to use applications that makes life worth living.
We then had brief descriptions of Appmaker given by Shivani Pandey who is a wonderful womoz app developer in Jnct Firefox Club.
Its always good to see girls coming forward in such events this is not only brings and inspires others but always makes an everlasting impact on the audience.
Then we had two other brief descriptions of Firefox developers browser and geo stumbler by Himanshu Goswami and Piyush Singhal.
What astonished me was the students actually wanted to have the apps installed on their phones, and we even have some downloads on spot!
Then it was my turn again to introduce the most important thing..
The Mozilla Firefox Student Ambassador Program, i was a bit nervous as this was the first time students were getting exposed to something of this level.So I introduced Firefox Friends first so that people get to know about social networks in a completely new manner.
Once it was done I decided to shoot the last arrow left in my armoury...The One More Thing.. Womoz!
And Girls like Riya Gupta, Rashmi Shrivastav are one of the best we have so they took the job quite professionally as they hold the audience still for each moment they were there!
Finally we ended the event with some questions and swag distributions!
