                                       Web and open Web

 As we listen "Mozilla" the next thing that comes i our mind is the Open web, But we should know what open web is and why it is necessary. 
When ever there is no control over the content of the internet by some bigwigs that is called open web. This is the place where every one can share its creativity and see what other have done. Mozilla's projects like webmaker give us a liberty to do all these things at a same place.

• Thimble make
• Popcorn make
• X-ray goggles make.

 

                                                        

The main aspects of any open web community are :-

• decentralization
• transparency 

Thimble an awesome tool through which we can make webpages and see the page in the section next to the code editor. This provide opportunity to make new things and share it with others.The best thing in it is that we can remix the existing content and publish it in this manner the credit is given to the maker of that make.

The main idea behind all this to make and learn. As we see and edit existing content this give us inspiration and opportunity to everyone to show there creativity and the ownership of the content remains with the maker of that content.
This promote connected learning which has various principal like "interest powered", "peer supported" and "academically oriented"

Hello friends,

This blog is on the event Mini Camp Jaipur.I got to know about the event from Meghraj Suthar he told me that as i am regular contributor I should attend this event and learn the community building process so that it will help me in my area.The second he asked me to join me this event i was clear in my mind what ever hurdle i get in reaching Jaipur from Gwalior i will join this "army of awesome".

 

My journey started from Gwalior railways station actually i have to break the journey so i, reached Agra railways station first and from there caught my train to the pink city. When I reached the venue i got a warm welcome from The MCR team.The team members were working very hard on analyzing and arranging things which may be importent for the event.Earlier have never met these guys but after seeing every one dedication i can say now that they are really working as team.They have divided task according to the interest and talent of each MCR member.

The USP of the event was vineel i can say that he was the show stopper of the event and the best person among all the
persons gathered in the "Sheesha lounge" to explain what Mozilla is and what we can do for Mozilla as contributor.
As the event started Trisul who was the live wire of the event and Osho having same level of potential supported him to
explain the agenda of the event.

 

The main focus of the event was to introduce the new biees about the various area of contribution and provied an opportunity to all the contributors in and across Jaipur to meet and discuss there contribution stories.After this Vineel took the center stage to explain about Mozilla foundation, its various projects and the various ways a person can contribute in Mozilla.

There were lots of fun activities like "Ali baba forty thieves" and "greeting each other as old friends". These session really helped to beark the ice after these activities the participants really opened up and started speaking and showing there talents.The first to session were took by varun and lavish they told all the participants about app development and app maker tool.The sessions then divided into two parts one groups of participants according to there interested were sent to the app development area and other set of guys sent to webmaker tools making area.

 

I have joined the app development group as mentor to help to thrieve them through there mission to publish there first ever app on marketplace.These participants were really creative and enthusiastic few got stuck at various point so i helped them to debug those errors.The other set of guys who were working on webmaker tools like thimble,popcorn maker and X-ray goggler also worked hard and showed there creative work.
The next session was about SuMo and various ways of contribution like AOA, Support Forum and localization which was taken by Raj suthar. 

App dev session

After all the successful sessions the event was wrapped up by giving appreciation to all the participants by Vineel
who made awesome apps, creative things using webmaker tools and the artwork by all the team members.
This was really an awesome event full of "learning, creativity and productivity".It really great being there and
attending this event in company of liaison like "Vineel reddy pindi"......... :)

 

Overall event was a big hit hope to see more such awesome meetups.

 Event venue :- Excellent public school, Itarsi, M.P.

 Event date:- 03/08/2014

Hello friends,
                       I would like to share my experiences as the member of the organizing team of the "KIDZMAKER PARTY" Chandan baba and Anju chandel at Excellent public school, Itarasi around 500 Km from Gwalior.

When you have a lump of clay is kept somewhere it has no importance but if the same lump is given shape it is become valuable. The same situation I saw in a school in the small town like Itarsai around 500 Km from my city Gwalior. When Chandan told me about the event i was super excited to be part of the event as we are going to interact with bunch of kidz who are excited to know about web.

My journey started from Gwalior late night to the place where i have never been. Early morning i reached there and got a warm welcome from the organizer of the event Anju chandel which provided all the member great hospitality and homely feeling. We reached the venue and started to make arrangement mean while all the young kidz started coming the class room was jam packed but there enthusiasm was mind blowing and they were eager to learn new things.They were really excited to make friendship with Mozilla as the day was "Friendship Day" which made this event more special for all of us.

As the event started members from Mozilla Bhopal community introduced the students about the Mozilla foundation, its mission and the various project under it. The focus was on webmaker tool as the agenda of the event was it only. The student were so interactive they too part in discussion and put their questions in front of us. On answering questions they have been provided with swags of Mozilla and to make the event full of fun, I improvised and conducted fun activities like virtual rain and cleared the doubt about HTML, CSS and JS. So that the came make and remix thimble.

Chandan shared his knowledge about popcorn maker and X-Ray googler and helped the students to make few things. Anju chandel told girl about WoMoz mission.

 Few creative students created art work in front of all of us.The principle of the school appreciated our effort and invited us for future events.

 

                                                                                                   

Overall the event was a great success which was full of knowledge sharing and creativity. This provided me a path to contribute in Mozilla community development in my city that is Gwalior.

Good luck.
