SNSCT FIREFOX CLUB @ SNSCT - 2016

PAARTTIPAABHALAJI - FIREFOX CLUB LEAD

After great effort taken by me and my club fellows, we finally inaugurated the SNSCT Firefox club in my campus on 16 April 2016. I especially thank to Mr. Vigneshwer dhinakaran for his great support to us. 


                          

The event kick-started with inaugural ceremony and release of the club logo. My Head of the department Mrs.L.M.Nithya mam was very supportive and she always give her hands for innovation and creative minds. I really thank her to take part of our effort to made this inauguration successful. After the ceremony, Vigneshwer started with the general session about the Mozilla club and the importance of club activities. And he briefly explain about the student opportunities in Mozilla and the projects ideas related to connected device. 



Later in day, I explained about web privacy with hands on demo on light beam, forget button options and various other addons, participants raised various questions about how tracking is done, what are the potential threats. In my lecture, i added some animated video about web privacy and also i explained about what Mozilla says about privacy?, that creates more interaction and interest to participants. In this event another Mozillian also take part with us. Mr. Ramki, founder of Tech nanban. He is a FSA from Sankara college which he soon plans to make it more active in terms of Mozilla and web activities. Post lunch, Mr.Vignesh started off with completing few teaching kits (basics of web literacy, web privacy ) later we discussed about cookies and had a small quiz on what all cookies are involved with various tracking. As a continuous effort we are planning to conduct a series of workshop based meetup event for learning and levering their power of IoT skills and products for solving a real-time problem. I think, this will be a great start for us to make a better contribution to Mozilla community. I thank to my management to allow me to organize this inauguration in a great way. I assure that they definitely support me for the further plans. "Keep clam, our #Mozmission is ON".
