The Mozilla India Work-week was held on the 29th and 30th of June 2013 but the planning and preparations had begun way back. This was the first big (from my perspective) Mozilla event where I played the role of being a co-host (rather played some signification role) in the entire execution of the event.
From planning the event, creating the event on the reps portal, planning the budget, sending down innumerable (mostly erroneous) mails...it was a learning at each step. Well, here I think I shouldn't forget to thank Soumya Deb for this opportunity as well as the awesome mentoring at each step.
28th June, Soumya da and I did reach the hotel before the rest of the reps to check the arrangements and be present to receive the rest of the participants. The best welcome that Mumbai could have given us was with its rains and it did it a bit too perfectly. Surprisingly, that was the only afternoon we got in Mumbai to actually go out and feel the drops.
By the evening, our participants were in the house and once we all were together, well, no one knows how time flew for the next two days. The best part of day 0 was the unpacking of the Mozilla India mascot. Million thanks to Vineel for getting Mr.Foxy to Mumbai. It was Soumya who went into the costume first. I don't know if it was the costume's effect or it was the hidden side of Soumya which somehow came out that evening, but either ways, the performance then given by Mr.Foxy was hilarious.
Serious work began from day 1. On 29th and 30th, we all did spend our day in the conference room. From 10am to 7pm....the awesome minds of Mozilla India were together in one room, finding multiple solutions to the tricky problems of the super fun Mozilla projects.
As rightly stated by Soumya Deb: "The Task Force leaders of Mozilla India gathered to sit together & brainstorm about the intra/inter-taskforce operations in our community, and thus to carve the foreseeable-future pathway of Mozilla India."
The awesome brains involved in the brainstorming sessions were brains of:
All in all, I will declare it as an event which was super fun++
