\nThis week, we’re not gonna throw the spotlight on a single person, but on a whole community: About 10,000 miles away from the Mozilla HQ in Mountain View, Mozilla Kenya<\/a> spreads the awesomeness of Mozilla in East Africa!<\/p>\n

It all started when Firefox 4 was released back in March 2011. A crowd of fellow Firefox enthusiasts and members of the community threw a launch party to kick off the new beginning of the community. Since then, the community has spread Mozilla and its projects at various talks and even organized a Firefox localization Hackathon where a handful of contributors translated Firefox to Swahili.<\/p>\n

Recently, a well balanced team that consists of Alex<\/a>, Hezron<\/a>, Cliff<\/a> and Vicky<\/a> decided to go out and spread their mission in Rwanda<\/a> on the 6th of June. It’s the second in a series that center around Open Web technologies and HTML 5 as a cross platform tool.<\/p>\n

“The tour was a great success, more than we had actually anticipated.”, Alex says in his detailed blog post about the tour<\/a>. “I would do this all over again.”<\/p>\n

For bringing the joy of Mozilla and the Open Web to many people, the Mozilla Kenya community definitely deserves to be in the spotlight – along with Alex<\/a>, Hezron<\/a>, Cliff<\/a> and Vicky<\/a> for their awesome MozTour in Rwanda.
