As a part of the Spring/ FoxYeah Campaign of Mozilla ,that started all round the globe from 2nd June'15, two Mozillian Reps of Delhi Mozilla Community, Ajay Kumar and Anup Mishra , organized an event on 7th June'15 in Nabha, located in the north western state of India, Punjab

The event was inaugurated with a brief introduction to open source community, as still a large section of the internet users is unaware about the concept of open source community like Mozilla. Accompanied by various promotional videos of Mozilla , gradually, the speakers moved on to the detailed description of Firefox and various other features that have been incorporated in the new version of Firefox 38.0.5.

Reason Behind selecting Nabha

Nabha is a small municipal council in the district of Patiala, Punjab. As a result of rapid advancement and penetration of technologies even to the remotest corner of the country, most of the residents of this town are currently active users of internet. But, unfortunately, most of them are not very confident about the selection of web browsers and what impact could a web browser make in their freedom while surfing this virtual world. A majority of this crowd still feel uncomfortable with online money transaction as they fear of losing their privacy. This event aimed to stir consciousness among these users regarding these issues.
