I started the session by Delivering content on What is web and how it is Useful.

I briefed them about what sort of Things they can do on web that can make their life easier including basic things like ticket booking , banking , recharges , shopping , etc. This session turned interesting when students started to put questions on how things are done and I was quite happy to teach them.

Due to Connectivity issues and Lack of Computer Labs , I was restricted to let them have a hands on webmaker but I tried my best to introduce them to its features.The Session stretched about 2 hours and then I was told to switch to junior Classes.

Juniors were even more enthusiastic and were quite eager and curious to learn new things. I introduce them to the internet world and how it can help them in their projects and learning.I also taught them some basic HTML tags.Then I took a small quiz . I concluded the Session by Distributing the swags to the students who answered the quiz questions.

So Its "THE MOZILLA " Surrounding Us !!!

"Mozilla is a free software community best known for producing the Firefox web browser. The Mozilla community uses, develops, spreads and supports Mozilla products, thereby promoting exclusively free software and open standards, with only minor exceptions.The community is supported institutionally by the Mozilla Foundation and its tax-paying subsidiary, the Mozilla Corporation.

In addition to the Firefox browser, Mozilla also produces Thunderbird, Firefox Mobile, the Firefox OS mobile operating system, the bug tracking system Bugzilla and a number of other projects."

So that is what Wikipedia Describes me about the Mozilla.But Mozilla Is not just a community Its a community holding communities and being a part of it last Sunday at the ocassion of #MozCofee was a great experience for me.

Here is my Views And opinions Regarding Mozcofee.So Mozcofee was the first event by 

Mozilla in Jodhpur under the mentorship of some amazingly talented MozReps and Mozilla 

contributors.In a colllection of some techincal terms Open Source was introduced to all the attendees which proved to be a great learning experience to all of us.

Previously mozilla Events were limited to the Boundaries of Jaipur Only , But this event proved to be a boon for geeks in jodhpur and Surely Recieved enormous Success.Being lucky to be selected in 15 people team to attend the event, it was a proud moment so all of the attendees invested this oppurtunity at their level best.

Meghraj Suthar introduced all , what is Mozilla & the products .He also Told us about the oppurtunities provided by mozilla and how can contributions can be done by us to be recognized as a official contributor.The centre of attraction was the #FirefoxOS and Mozillians  allowed us to take a look at it and take a demo.

At last the FSA Program was inroduced to us which is a platform for emerging geeks to be linked to mozilla.And at last The words got Justified that " A Lot Can Happen Over Coffee ".

Mozilla Phones With Firefox OS : May Prove to be a Android Rival

Mozilla's $50 Mobile Phones : Will they Attract Users From Indian Mobile Market

The dawn of smartphones has ushered us into a new era of changing working styles and huge rise of two companies on which these smartphones depend. Apple and Google continue to fight over the smartphone space and while Apple is considered the phone to buy with its brand name, Google’s Android has taken the world by storm by its sheer presence.

This bipolar scenario is quickly becoming a monopoly as well. With Google aiming low with its Android One, the next billion phones will most probably be Android run. They are taking “the next billion” so seriously that they are now readying to invest a whopping $1 Billion to subsidize the affordable smartphones even further!

This means that Google will dictate its terms on how we interact with pretty much everything. This scene is not exactly a bad one right now, but such strong power in the hands of one company always ends up badly just because like any monarchy, the system is as good as the monarch and once that changes, so does the style of ruling.

With Google, once Larry Page and Sergey Brin retire or worse are no more, it will be difficult to imagine what will become of all the Androids.

While such thoughts are not on everyone’s mind, most people do think that monopolies are always bad and some even think that Google’s Android is not completely open source and should be. Mozilla is a company of that sort. They have been working on its own operating system- Firefox OS, that aims to be completely open source.

The OS aims to hit the market from the lower end with super-low priced smartphones that need minimal power to give good performance. Backed by 20 mobile operators and 10 hardware makers, Mozilla has the force to become a prominence in the mobile market.

They have already had a beta run in Europe and Latin America where they sold a million phones. This number is not huge compared to its competition but they now are battle tested.

Coming to India, they have tied up with Spice and the first phone should be launched in July itself. Intex business head Sanjay Kumar Kalirona also mentions same things.

The most important point is the price that according to Mozilla COO Gong Li has been kept $50. According to him, ‘with low-cost chip solutions developed by China-based Spreadtrum Communications and cooperation with smartphone ODMs, Mozilla has succeeded in keeping production cost down to US$25 for models carrying retail prices of up to US$50.’

There are two things of note here-

1.      How will Mozilla deal with Android One?

2.     How will Mozilla deal with its lack of app market?

There is a reason why Android is successful and even companies like Samsung are not making any dent with its Tizen and Bada. The app system is developed.

With Android One, Google is attempting to woo the same smartphone makers as Mozilla. Therefore, it is necessary for Mozilla to tackle these problems in order to succeed. This month and the next (August) will tell us how well does Mozilla handle these elephants in the room!
