THE JOURNEY CONTINUES…

MEMBERS MEETING DAY #2

Hi all,

The days are stepping away and we are much closer to our first event “MOZCAFE” scheduled on 23rd of this month. We step one step closer, but the sky is the limit for our endeavor.

The second meet-up of the minds transpired on 13th February to discuss the pathways and what we as a whole have to work towards regarding the future. There were many questions that were to be clarified, stones that had to be unturned, and mysteries to be unraveled in our future journey. And we are on our way ahead to accomplish our goal.

We love decentralization and hence there we were giving responsibilities to one and all, looking to pave a way and enable people come out of their shells to be what they are meant to be. Many of the leads already are experienced and motivational and let me tell you, we came to realize many unknown truths about things we were doing wrong.

Enough about the day, lets get back to the topic on hand, what we assembled to discuss, the start of the foundation of our footprint, “MozCafe”. As Plato says “The beginning is the most important part of the work”, and lo and behold there we were burning the midnight oil to try and make the event a grand opener unlike other. However don’t take our words to mean that we had no fun. It was a fun atmosphere regardless of the bounds of the junior-senior predicament. Many secrets were divulged and many more ties made amongst us. There were some laughs abound, sometimes at mercy of one of us, and sometimes they were there just there for no reason at all.

OK, seriously, this is where I tell you about the event, so open your minds to the force and listen closely. Leading the event will be ReMo Shahid Farooqui to talk on Mozilla OS and various other projects of Mozilla. You might think you know enough about them, but THE OPEN is unprecedented, so there will be a tidbit even for the most experienced veterans. Internships are something we all love to get, but curiously enough seldom do we get them in the field we desire, so get ready to learn about how to do the same with the power of GSoC in your hands. Sadly, VCSs aren’t that known or used outside of the truly gifted circles or the industrial world, so get ready to be known with the use of GitHub. Just imagine yourself to be a person who buys software and later on after few months finds that a newer version of that software has arrived in the market. Well, you will totally get frustrated and will again have to waste more money to get the new software. So here comes the need of open source software. Last but not the least, we have all learnt of the wonders of Blogging, but seldom do we know the tricks to use them effectively, so get ready to unlock the mysteries hidden deep beneath the trenches of Mordor.
