The Internet has become part of our modern life. Communication and sharing is getting more interactive than ever! Through internet, we are discovering things that overwhelm us. Internet has brought us the high engagement, interactivity and originality of the content. The Web we love includes two big things: 1. The open source stack that has built both the front and backend infrastructure, giving rise to the Internet that we know & love today. 2. The web is built on the idea that useful things are findable, and that we can share the things that are important to us. The web is something that evolves as we contribute to it, and that is what makes it special. One of the things that I loved at my college was, participating and volunteering for events. Students, both seniors and juniors from various branches came together to work as a team, We brainstormed on the ideas - which guests to invite, what should be the theme, handling the logistics and all. We shared the tasks based on ones interest, It was our responsibility in shaping the event and to give the best experience for the participants. We did our best to make the event a success. While collaborating and working together, we learned something from each other. It was an experience to me. It was this kind of participation and learning upon small experiences made me what i am today and that is the kind of experience that i have at Mozilla, participating, learning and making a difference at the same time.. Mozilla is a group of people who passionately believe in the web. Before I talk about Mozilla community and how they are building the web they want, I have to take you back to the year 2003:

"..Students of Mozilla become mentors, each mentoring a few students of their own; it snowballs. Before you know it, you’ve grown to a community of millions...”
“It is these small incremental changes that foster growth and change the world."
Internet by the people Internet for the people
