By On · Add Comment · In Mozilla

As of January 2012 we had agreed on we would have to create three teams which we called The Power of 3, and Yes 2012 was a success with Engagement team and Localization team moving forward and rapidly expanding! and the Development team a bit slow.So I was thinking way before to at the very least establish a core group of volunteer developers to help the MozillaPH Development team to get started.

With the help of a student volunteer Marcus Ang who also specializes in development, we had discussed of a meet-up, at first we just had thought of a simple gathering of developers just to hear what the current trends in terms of development today and other events that might come for Devs ,and we reached the final decision to conduct a MozCoffee for Developers. I’ts almost 2 months of preparation and yes the day Finally arrived when MozillaPH Development team IGNITES!

Fluxion Mozcoffee

March 23 2013, the date where Joyce Domanog, spearheaded an event where her fellow Fluxion employees would get to know the Mozilla’s and the community’s effort here in the country,  most of the attendees are web and apps developers. The Mozilla Philippines Team who arrived at the event are Robert ‘bob” Reyes, Joell Lapitan, Kevin Ventura and the brother & sister tandem (me and Joyce).

We conducted the Fluxion Mozcoffee at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Coffee shop at Two E-Comm tower Pasay City — the usual spot where we conduct our other Mozcoffee events, it’s like an unofficial HQ of the Team, to start the event I introduced Bob to do a brief introduction and General overview of the products of the community.
