This event was well planned by Santosh Viswanatham, Kumar Rishav and Mayur Patil, but unfortunately due to some reasons, Mayur and Santosh couldn't make for this event.

 Event on Reps Portal : https://reps.mozilla.org/e/developer-bootcamp-indore/

As Santosh and Mayur cannot make to this event, Santosh asked me if i am available on that particular date to speak on Mozilla's Mission, Projects and Firefox OS. As a mozillian, i always love to speak on mozilla's mission, openness and projects. I accepted this invitation from Santosh and Planned to speak on Mozilla at Indore Institute of Science and Technology, Indore. I am thankful to Santosh, Mayur and Rishav for giving me chance to speak there on behalf of Mozilla.

Santosh connected me to the local Organizer Shubham Geete who helped me for the next tasks for the event.

It was Sep 5 2014, my tickets got booked and i started in the morning at 5:00 A.M. to the Bangalore Airport. It took almost 10-12 hours of journey to reach the awesome place Indore. I was really feeling refreshed when i stepped out of the Indore Airport. Then, in no time, i reached hotel, got fresh and met Shubham in the evening. We have sorted out the plan and proceedings of the event and checked whether if anything is missing in the event.

Interacted with the audience and asked few questions to them and gave swag to the one who answered correctly.







Now, its time to switch to Firefox OS, Bugzilla, Firefox Apps and Appmaker, so we shifted to the Lab and started with hands-on session. Now,it was Rishav's turn to make the audience feel the Power of Firefox OS.

He Started with Bugzilla and shown them a hands-on how a bug works, how its created and how it helps.








Kumar Rishav's awesome session attracted the developer audience and this made the session very interactive.




Later, started a session on App Development and finally we made them to make their first ever app. "A Firefox App"







        Later, we had our Lunch with the awesome mozillians and the organizing team.



Later, we moved back to the lab after the "MozLunch" , there was a session on Appmaker by Rahul Talreja and he made the session so awesome with his live examples and the audience were successful in developing apps using appmaker.


After the appmaker session, we have cleared the queries that the audience had and finally had the closing ceremony by the College management. All the Speaker were honoured with Memento, an award of appreciation from the college, and we were happy to receive it from them.







Later, we had a group pic with all the participants, organizers and all the mozillians.
