To start with, on BNU's 10th Anniversary Celebration at Beaconhouse National University on 19th December 2013, the university had arranged some activities to show the culture and different concepts of BNU and among all these there we setup a Mozilla Booth among all other booths representing their departments and their respective fields.

After
explaining on the first day at Mozilla Booth some of the juniors showed
up some serious interest in joining Mozilla Pakistan Community and later
they supported the booth by sharing their knowledge which they gathered
on the first day of briefing.
Explaining them about the Mozilla Community and how they can Contribute in Mozilla and about the pages and the groups where they can get all the updates.

These were the topics on which we talked on the Mozilla Booth in detail. Most of them were interested in the Localization part as it is one of the easiest way to contribute but there were few who were not only interested in Localization but also in Add-ons(the coding part which includes HTML5 and Javascript).
The most Qs asked were
- What benefit will they get if they join Mozilla?
- When the Firefox OS will release in Pakistan?
- How they can contribute to Mozilla?
That day brought us with some well talented new Mozillans who are now very passionate about it and they also want to contribute as much as they can. Our one of the new Mozillian Zain has been joining us for the localization sessions after learning about it from the booth and now he is looking forward to contribute in other ways like add-ons and the army of awesome.
