4^th oct 2016

A casual call from one of my friends he asked me upon to join Mozilla maker part as a volunteer in the team. We were discussing the pros and cons of the event what would happen how were the results or the outputs of the event. I feel lucky enough that I agreed to his point and joined maker party as a volunteer I would never regret this decision ever in my life.

5^th oct 2016

Me and 3 of my friends agreed upon the decision of joining Mozilla as a volunteer at maker party. Three of us who were in the technical and management department and one of them as a photographer with us. Later on, the day we filled the form and were waiting for the response from the coordinators of the event.

7^th oct 2016

Two days later we were called up by viral sir and he asked us to meet him at his office at prescribed time. we reached the office few minutes earlier and were waiting for our interview session. It was more casual gathering rather than a formal meeting type. Later on, finally we decided to join the team as a part of logistic and guest handling team on the day of event and were also assigned to do a college campaign according to our schedule.

10^th oct-14^th oct 2017

We have mostly done our work almost completed 4-5 college campaigns at different colleges including alpha, git, Sal, silver oak, ldrp and so on.it was fun as well as tiresome too as some of the college were not giving proper response as we were expecting. Fortunately, we completed the work and were happy with the progress.

17^th oct 2017

A day before the grand event, all the volunteers team were called on the venue and a meeting was conducted to organize the event schedule properly and to allot the tasks to all the volunteers who were there in the event. On this day, we met MR. Nikhil Patel (a great salute to you sir). His skills of teaching and knowledge is just amazing and MR. Moin Shaikh (the mentor of mine for social media: -p) never to forget his designing skills were outstanding.

I still remember roaming in the gtu campus around 8:00 pm in the evening which was the scariest part as rumours were heard that it was a haunted building I suppose.  We made the maker party logo arranged it on the premises. stacked banners around the premise. Getting schedules to be printed and stacked around so that no one gets affected from that.

three new persons whom I forgot to mention are sumit, haard, mansi those were our mentors on the day of event as well as they were the coordinators too thanks for the support you provided us.

Our team was build according where me and of my friends were arranged together so that we could coordinate well with each other.

18^th oct 2017 (the first day of event)

We reached the venue around 8:00 in the morning and nearly 1000 students were waiting for the event to start we were shocked by the response from the students. The day start of as usual. everything was arranged and going perfect until the crowd increased from 1000 to 30000. I appreciate to all the volunteer who helped us to manages so much of crowd on time. More students were coming and it was getting difficult for us to handle I still remember at a same time 5-6 sessions were going on from different speakers and were doing well. the day ended in peace.

19^th oct 2017 (the last day of event)

As usual the day started off with increase in the number of students then the previous days were. Fortunately, our team was able to manage all the crowd and session were peacefully going on. and a final closing ceremony was done at the end of event.

Oops I forget to mention someone who is sir mehul Patel (sorry mehul Bhai :-p) the head of Mozilla Gujarat community without whom we couldn’t make the event happen as smoothly as it went through.
