The Maker Party event at FSMK summer camp Bangalore was just amazing!The Free Software Movement Karnataka[1] is one of those communities which promotes open and free source initiatives.They recently conducted a 9 day Summer Camp for the Engineering & Science students at JVIT college and approached us if we can include +Mozilla Webmaker event in the summer camp and gave one full day for the Maker Party! [2]Gauthamraj and myself were planning with the event organizing and stuff. Thanks to +Gauthamraj for sorting and helping the event to actually happen! :)On the event day we had our awesome Reps +Ankit +Jai Pradeesh +Vineel and a couple of Mozillians +Jafar and +Jayakumar to help with the workshops.The sessions started with Ankit showing on how to hack a website. The hands-on workshop went very well and we had so many hacks. One of them used Popcorn for calling out the volunteers[3].The internet was very slow on the event day and the offline sources were very helpful for the smooth flow of the event.The event was a huge success because I see people using the Webmaker tools when I attend few of the meetups. They use popcorn and thimble for creating invitations and videos.The feedback we received from one of the participant:"The next day was probably the only day which I can never forget, the mozilla webmaker party was just freaking amazing. It was so dam simple to modify any website, to give it a touch of our own personalization." Blog from one of the participant [4].Pictures of the event[5].I couldn't stay at the event for very long though :([1] http://fsmk.org/[2] http://camp.fsmk.org/Summer/13/?q=mozilla-webmaker-party[3] https://viggy.makes.org/popcorn/17vm[4] http://samyuhm.wordpress.com/2013/07/24/mozilla-firefox-webmakers-party-fsmk-summer-camp/[5] https://plus.google.com/photos/109578479795240778075/albums/5903540392742179857?banner=pwa 10 Aug 2013 / tweet this / @GalaxyK / show comments
