Firefox Nightly Campaign

Here is the Blog for the Firefox Nightly  Mozilla Hyderabad Meetup

Amazing experience to meet the new developers from Hyderabad, most of the attendees were working professionals working at different MNC's. Very first we had introduced among ourselves and we discussed a lot about the Mozilla Hyderabad activities and Mozilla INDIA activities and then myself , Santosh and Harsha Vardhan started talking about the projects of Mozilla and how the participants can involve with the contributing team. Slowly we deviated the topic to Firefox Nightly. We asked the attendees to install the Firefox Nightly browser in the android phones as well as in their laptops. Then i Started discussing about the features of the browser and then functionalities of the browser . I have shared the presentation with the attendees and asked all the attendees to use the browser and identify the bugs. Next we discussed how to file a bug and how to report an error using Bugzilla

At last we ended up with the swag distribution

       The excitement in me woke me up early. With all the freshness & enthusiasm, me and my team headed to Progess office for the first IOT Hackathon conducted by Mozilla. All organizers and volunteers reached by 8:00 & we arranged all that needs to be done. There we saw many enthusiastic people with passion who were eager to put their skills to work for next 32 hours. They collected their ID cards & headed towards the hack zone. I have addressed the participants & discussed the agenda for the weekend which was to learn and build something new without missing out fun :D   Then i have given an insight about Mozilla community & opportunities it brings .

      Then we had a Skype session with Dietrich head of connected devices at Mozilla Dietrich, spoke about how connected devices are going to change the world &mozilla’s mission towards connected devices. Then we had a question and answer session and Dietrich wished our participants & boosted them up.

Later Kalayan discussed about importance of security & privacy in connected world & spoke about IOT risks, Cyber threats & security challenges . He also discussed about how our wearable devices collect huge amount of personal data as well as the surrounding environment information, which can be easily disclosed to third parties & how threat actors adopt sophisticated TTPs . One of the first  under attack  case was observed by Proofpoint where cyber criminals sent  bursts of 100,000 three times per day, targeting enterprises and individuals worldwide,more than a lakh refrigerators ,smart Tv’s and other smart household appliances have been hacked !!! Showing how IoT is dramatically enlarging our attack surface, he also came up with the set of solutions on how to minimize these vulnerabilities :)

       It was lunch time, people interacted with each other. People formed teams & started discussing their innovative ideas. We were helping participants get their required hardware components.15 teams( =15 new ideas :D) started working on their creative ideas. Geeks Harsha, Kalyan , Deepak & Hitesh were helping the hackers build better prototype. People took short naps, some caffeine & samosa (not to be forgotten!) breaks . Special mention to Hitesh & Giridhar for keeping the crowd active with their sense of humor :)

       Sunday (next day) people were almost done ,they started adding additional features & started testing their product. By 12pm their ideas were all set to present. Our judge for the event was Mr.Ramesh CEO of Progress  Software. Such a visionary person he is, he also suggested the participants about how they could go ahead with their product in market.

                 

       Judgment time! Winning team-Smart air conditioning team got first prize and the youngest participant belonged to this team :) they  were awarded with Firefox OS phones:D  Runnerups-Alchol detection team were awarded with Firefox Bags and Goodies :D

                  

        Then we all had tasty biryani as our last meal of the event. Then we had swag distribution bands, tattoos, badges everywhere& everyone captured our perfect weekend in selfies . I learnt about arduino, raspberry pi& got familiar with many other technical aspects & understood that age is never a barrier to do something you like.  As promised by Harsha ,we all had great moments to cherish &32 hours to treasure :D

Moz Schoolz 3

Hello Folks!

Here is the blog update from the moz schoolz 3 event .

According the schedule we planned for the event we reached  the school on time and organized the event.

As there were 2 sections and there is no place in the school where these many students could accommodate so, we took same sessions for two batches, like wise before lunch and after lunch sessions.

Varun taught the students about the Computers basics and all the peripheurals of the computer and next its me (Harsha) taught the students about the Internet and given complete details of the internet the protocols and Network Sharing and the web maker tool thimble and next Kalyan taught the students about the html and CSS basics and how to start coding and structure of the basic html page.

Later we conducted the Quiz to the students on the internet and open web and given swag for the interacting students and answering students

Later we conducted the Drawing competition on the Topic Open Source all the students took part in the competition and shown their skills :), Hence the winners are awarded with the swag and certificates :)

It was a very good experience in a govt. school where there is no proper education about the computer and Internet, we feel proud and feel Honor to conduct an event in school , and students were eager to know about web technologies and Internet, and even there were asking us to take few more events in their school.

I thank Kalyan , Varun , Deepika , Pranathi , Harsha [My Self :P ] and Sai Charan for helping me in organizing such a success full event.
