\nPune<\/a>, India, was a hotbed<\/a> of webmaking activity last year<\/strong>. So it’s no surprise that this great day-long hack jam<\/a> helped kick off Maker Party 2013 <\/strong>two days ago.

\n“Let the Webmaker party begin in India — the day it begins globally!” <\/strong>—Priyanka Nag<\/a>, event organizer

\nThe event gathered computer science students at the Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies <\/strong>to learn about Mozilla and open source — then spend the afternoon hacking with\u00a0 Webmaker tools<\/a> like the X-Ray Goggles, Thimble and Popcorn.
\nPriyanka Nag<\/a><\/strong>, the event’s organizer, says she was able to plan the party in less than a day. “The super awesome part was the India community’s Webmaker Super-Mentors’ remote help and contribution.”

“We ended the day by giving out Mozilla swag as prizes to the best makes of the day<\/strong>,” Priyanka says. “After the event I got infinite calls, messages and Facebook pings from my participants demanding more such Mozilla sessions in college soon! It was a great feeling to see their enthusiasm.”<\/div>\n
