MozFirst @ MITS
There again Mozilla Community Rajasthan organized a rocking event at one of the best colleges of Rajasthan (Mody Institute of Technology and Science — MITS). We started event at 10:00 AM by inaugurating MozillaMITS club continued by introductory session of Mozilla and Mozilla mission by Prachi Jain.
All newbies were interested in knowing about mozilla and its products. An idea about mozilla products was given like Thunderbird, Persona, Firebug, Webmaker etc. Next session was taken by Mr. Meghraj Suthar, he gave a brief introduction about open source. Actually students were not aware of open source. Today they realized that how their freedom is different than actual freedom.
He also told them about various open source communities and how to contribute in those communities? Students were quite happy to see what they can do in open source and how they can customize any open source product according to there need.
I think you can clearly see happiness on their face, they were really excited :). Open source lovers.
