Mozilla Bangladesh l10n Sprint May 2014

Mozilla Bangladesh organized a successful onsite l10n Sprint on 13 May 2014 at Hub Dhaka, Mirpur Dhaka to translate Firefox OS related strings and documents in Bangla. At the sprint 10 Mozillians gather at site and more than 5 Mozillians attended online. Mozillians complete localization and review of more than 1300 new Firefox OS strings. They translate Firefox OS related web content in Bangla which is more than 4000 words. They also review the scripts translated for Bangla voice over for Firefox OS related video content which is more than 7000 words. At the end of the sprint participants learned how to test Firefox OS through MozTrap. They committed to test Firefox OS and other incomplete tasks after the sprint from their home.

The event was so productive and successful and full of foods and fun. That was one of the best sprint I ever attended.

New Firefox Community Launch by Mozilla Bangldesh

I can remember the day 29 October back on 2009, we arranged a lunch party to celebrate Firefox 3.5 at Dhaka. That was the first event where we can manage to bring Firefox swags and distribute them to the participants. That was the day we decide we need to build and grow a community for Bangladesh to spread Firefox and words of Mozilla. And we start a Facebook page named Mozilla Bangladesh on that day. Feeling lucky that again I was again part of a launch party of Firefox 29.

It feels good when you got more than you wish. When you got lot more it deserves celebration. New Firefox (29) brings us once again that occasion to celebrate its launch with its new looks and exiting features. Mozilla Bangladesh arranged a community launch party to celebrate new Firefox launch on 9 May 2014 at Hub Dhaka, Mirpur Dhaka.
