Hello everyone!
30th of January was a success! And we have nobody
to thank but you! Yes, we had an amazing response and have had responses and
queries like we didn’t expected but we were prepared.
We expected a crowd of 100 people but we exceeded that, how
great is it? And as of now, the BITFox Club is growing really fast and you can
expect some amazing new events from us. But for those who missed it, here’s
what happened that day!

club.
The event kick-started with a pinch of our very own Indian
traditions as we lit a lamp for Goddess Saraswati who is known to be the God of
Knowledge, and proceeded with her blessings. The Principal of the college had a
few beautiful words to say who were followed by our very own MozReps Ankit Mehta,
Siddhartha Rao and the BITFox Club Leader Miten Kashiyani.
After this, the session started with an introduction of
Mozilla and a lot of fun. The hosts of the event were fun enough to keep each
and every student glued to their seats and encouraged enough to hear answers of
almost every question. They distributed swag like anything, they had to! Some
answers were spot on and brilliant. They knew so much about the Mozilla
products and were already a part of the Open Source Society like Mozilla is.
The hosts of the day appreciated their knowledge with giving out even more
swag!
Piracy is an issue in today’s world and the hosts specially took
time out and let us take a look at the Privacy Month, and their agenda!
After a while, they called it a lunch break as the students
were really hungry but even after that they rushed onto them to know what’s
next and had so many queries. Both Siddhatha and Ankit were flooded with
students asking them questions and they cleared them all as the students left
the Auditorium eager and encouraged to attend the second half of the session.
The second half of the session opened with happy and hungry faces,
hungry for knowledge. The real deal was here, how could they contribute?
Students had their eyes wide open, ears all stood up because they want to do.
They heard everything about being a Mozillian in the first half and they were
thrilled to hear about it and they had set their target, to be one of them.
They listened through it, all of it. The Reps gave us
insights about everything we can do to contribute and it was simple. If you’re
technically skilled, contribute and if you’re not, you can still contribute! Ankit
and Siddhartha guided them with every Hows, Whats and Whos they had. They covered
the following topics:
Technical-Non Technical, everybody can contribute? They all
were excited and asked what next? There it was! BITFox Club, in their own
college and that’s why it had opened, to contribute because we are here to make
a difference and we are stronger if we are together!
A Foxy moment for all of us:
The BITFox Club Executive Team:
The Club was launched and everybody knew there how they could
contribute to the society and the Club has been getting entries ever since. We
expect to become a big part of this society and make a difference, and we can
only do this with your help, are you in? Join
