Hello all

It is the time to share my experience about a two day event,MozFest@Harbour. Held on 19th and 20th March , organised by Debjani and Kaustav with  Swarnava and Me backing up,this event focused on Webmaker and speading the word about firefox OS and how the students with the basic understanding of HTML,CSS and JS can join to hands and seamlessly contribute  to Mozilla  .

Who Did What

Debjani and Kaustav  traveled all the way from  DehraDoon and Durgapur to make this event a great one. Swarnava and Me were local mozillians who extended all that we could . We expected another FSA [Sukanya] but she couldn't make it.Maybe the event would have been a better one with her.

What Happened

 Day 1


We began with welcoming all our attendees and then directly jumping to the Mozilla's mission and the main intention was to make the session as interactive and  asking them to share their views and throw as many as questions to clear the basic fundamentals before we began the actual session.Followed by that was  Kaustav's session,where he spoke in detail about HTML,CSS and it's implementation by creating thimble pages. And with showcasing all the WebMaking tools we called off the first day.


                              

Day 2

Debjani with WoMoz



The next day we started off with me crunching on the basics of Firefox OS with the help of all the HTML and CSS core knowledge that we explained the previous day.Again the goal was to speak and let people speak .So,we started off my gathering App ideas and collecting them.In the meantime Debjani gave a small session on WoMozand FSA and how important it was for the women to contribute in mozilla to get them at par with men and help WoMoz mission be a successful one.Lucky we were to have few girls to speak out how they can contribute and Debjani took the next step by guiding her.
                         

Speaking out App Ideas 


WoMoz on the Run 


The PASSIONATE would be contributors of Mozilla




One of the Active Participant being rewarded

 Finally we concluded the event by giving awarding webmaker tshirts to the best ideas and distributing swags to all the people who passionately attended the sessions.

 Thanks And Hats off to all the people who contributed to this event and a special thanks to Debjani, Kaustav and Swarnava for putting up all the effort for making this event so awesome.

Rocket on Fedora

This post is a very small example of how you can start creating small web apps with Rocket which extensively uses Rust under the hood. This post will just give an idea about how to get started if you are totally new to rust. Rocket is a web framework for Rust that makes it simple to write fast web applications without sacrificing flexibility or type safety . All with minimal code. - rocket.rs Getting started: Start by installing rust nightly on your system or virtual box: $ curl -sSf https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup.sh | sh -s -- --channel=nightly                  Setting up Project and Dependencies: Setting up the project is easy cas you can go ahead and execute cargo new hello-rocket --bin Once the execution is completes , you will have a binary application created with a Cargo.toml file and src dir with main.rs inside it. For setting up the dependencies you need to update the Cargo.toml file. Now,it's time to update the source main.rs f

[Test Day Annoucement] Anaconda Blivet GUI

Thursday 2017-04-06 will be Anaconda Blivet-GUI Test Day ! As part of this planned Change for Fedora 26, So this is an important Test Day! We'll be testing the new detailed bottom-up configuration screen has been long requested by users and inclusion of blivet-gui into Anaconda finally makes this a reality. On the other hand, it just adds a new option without changing the existing advanced storage configuration so users that prefer the top-down configuration can still use it. to see whether it's working well enough and catch any remaining issues. It's also pretty easy to join in: all you'll need is alpha 1.7 (which you can grab from the wiki page). Anaconda grew a rather important new option in F26: as well as the two existing partitioning choices (automatic, and the existing anaconda custom part interface) there's now a *third* choice.so now you can do custom partitioning with blivet-gui run within anaconda, as well as using anaconda's own interface

Mine Shiba Inu ($shib) on Fedora/LINUX

Context Please Well, all of us has heard about the new shiny $shib. When the pump is so high, news and media just happen to cover it. That's the normal. This post is not about what $shib is or what you can do with it. This post is a basic walk through of how YOU can mine $shib at home and earn [or atleast learn what mining is]. One of most hyped thing about mining is, we need Graphics Cards [GPU] and a lot of GPUs worthing lakhs in my country. Amount of money which is very hard to shell out at one go.  So, since sometime, miners have been relying heavily on a pool. A pool is collection of computing power which will together mine of a certain type of currency. We have some coins which will require a certain quantity of vRAM to start with and there are some which will require less. Depending on the power of the GPU, you can join the pool and help with collective mining.  Now, since a lot of us don't end up having such GPUs we end up not mining at all! But what if there was a way
