Among all these Pakistan has also organized it's first official or mega event on 10th May 2014 at Beaconhouse National University. This was the first mega event which was organized by Huda Sarfraz followed by Pakistani Mozillians team.
There were 150 seats for the people to show up their interest and register themselves into this launch event and among those around 90-100 people showed up which was one of the big achievement for the Pakistani Mozillians team.
Starting with, the event was started a bit late at 11:30am but Talaal Burny kicked off the event well decently and kept the atmosphere alive. He started with the giveaways by asking audience different questions related to Mozilla. The first giveaway was a Firefox cap to one of the attendees who had Firefox installed on his/her android phone.
After the giveaway Talaal announced the first presenter of the day, Asad Sajjad to give a talk on "Get involved: Volunteer options at Mozilla or How to get Involved in Mozilla ?".

Now it's time for Fawad Hassan to come in and explain more about Firefox OS. He came all across from Islamabad to give a talk on Firefox OS.
