Yesterday when I was in the office , I suddenly got a call from a student with name +Mukesh Thodupunoori saying that he need to conduct a session regarding the Mozilla and start the Mozilla Club in their college.
I was so surprised and asked him few questions below.
1. Why are you going to start the club in the college ?
+Mukesh Thodupunoori : I was so impressed , interested, excited by the activities of what +Mozilla Firefox are doing in various places in India and I want my college students to be part of this great initiative ,join and support for the Open Web #rightnow.
2. How are you going to kick start then ?
+Mukesh Thodupunoori : I was running a facebook page (Firefox OS) ,started contributing to localization as well and wanted Me (+Srikar Ananthula) to present a introductory session on Mozilla and how to get started , so we proceed further with more activities in college
3. What made you to join this community ?
I Loved the mission of the Mozilla that is the Non Profit Organization, which helps to make the web better and thus started the journey towards it :)
4.When are planning to do it ?
+Mukesh Thodupunoori : Tomorrow morning itself. I said "Are you sure?" .He answered in confident manner "Yes, Tomorrow". I was impressed and said "Ok ! Lets do it tomorrow".
All set with in a day. +Mukesh Thodupunoori got permission from the respective authorities in the college and mailed me with the positive response saying that all set, you can come tomorrow.
Today:
Arrived at college by 9:30 AM and every one was starring at me (Common Phenomenon :P ) on seeing T-shirt of Mozilla which I wore ;)
I was so habituated to this kind of situations since past, but even though, some sort of different feel every time ;)
Introduced myself to Head of the Department explaining about myself and how i joined this great community. Explained her about my recent activities as well.
Time for the session to start !!
Started Intro as usual about me ;) Then followed by the following
Finally we got couple of students to engage in Mozilla Community activities.I am so happy for that !!
Credits:
First of all I would like to thank Dr.Y.Vijaya Latha Madam Garu (Head of Department of IT) for accepting and granting us permission to continue the firefox activities in college. :) and encouraging students towards Open source world.
Thanks a lot to +Mukesh Thodupunoori who took the initiative for this and working hard for this. Hope you continue the same inspiration in future with support of Vijaya Latha Madam and students as well.
