MozillaCamp Delhi – Spreading the Firefox Love

MozillaCamp Delhi was a premier open source conference organized in the city of Delhi by OSSCube. It was a dream shared by Mohak - A Mozilla Campus Representative and Kinshuk - OSSCube's Community Manager. All the hardwork done by these two paid in premium at the Event, when Seth and Arun delighted the participants with the bling they had up their sleeves. It gives us immense pleasure as an organization that has been working to promote open source at all levels in India to have played a small part in the success of the event.

The Day begins

The day began with Mohak and Kinshuk leading open house sessions, while everyone waited for Seth and Arun to arrive. People discussed a variety of topics - twitter, Google’s hold on world data, Opera vs Firefox vs Chrome, and stuff.

Once Seth and Arun joined us all, Pascal Finette of Mozilla Labs took us all on a guided tour of the Concept Series. Pascal's emphasis was on increasing participation in the concept series and he encouraged the participants to do the same. The conference call faced some glitches in between, otherwise everything went smooth.

Seth in his talk emphasized on the ways and means of localizing Firefox, while explaining in general what issues exist in Localizing the web. The participation by the fellow campers through the questions and feedback helped in creating an interesting session on l10n and i18n.

Arun then mesmerized the campers with his talk on the open Web and some experimental features of HTML5, especially Canvas and Video Tags. He also gave the sneak peak of a web-based IDE Mozilla is coming up with - "Bespin", which will have a soft launch at Techkriti.

Towards the completion of the event, we managed to catch up with Arun and Seth about what they believe to be the future of the web.
