Introduce yourself to the Campus Reps community here...
Welcome to all of our Mozilla Campus Reps! Let's use this thread to share more about ourselves with the rest of the network!
I'll get it started:
I'm Jay Patel, your Mozilla Campus Reps coordinator... and I work at Mozilla Corporation in Mountain View, CA! I've been working with Mozilla since it was a small project within Netscape back in 1999... and have watched our community grow and the browser evolve into the latest Firefox version we all use today! I've worked on crash analysis & reporting, general qa and tools development, project management, community leadership, and now marketing... so I've had a chance to wear many hats at Mozilla over the years. :-)
I work full-time, but also go to business school at the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley... I'm in the evening program and should be done in 2010. So I'm a student like most of you! ;-)
That's all I have for now... please feel free to share as little or as much as you feel comfortable here so that other Reps can get to know you. Thanks!
- Jay



Hi Guys,
My name is Ricky and have signed up recently to Firefox campus rep. I am part of a university club so would love to use some of my promotional experience and channels to promote Firefox at university. However I am in Australia and there does not seem to be an active Firefox club.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hey everybody,
The name is Lytysha and I just signed up to be a Firefox Campus Rep. last night and I'm super excited!
I'm a Clinical Psychology major at Florida Institiute of Technology, I don't know a whole lot about computers/or study about them even though I spend way too much time on them (I hope to learn more). But, I do know that Firefox is pretty gnarly, and free, so I thought it would be cool to spread the good word.
I look forward to telling everyone about Firefox 3.5 on campus, my blog, etc :) I REALLY want internet explorer to get replaced with Firefox on every computer at school!

I Hope that keep on this way, and like the mozilla logo says: Take back the web!
And we are the people that can do that, so let's work guys! Let's show the people the power of Free Software! Let's talk about freedom!

Hey, everyone!
My name is Mike Geishauser and I am a pharmacy student at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (Go Penguins!) and have always been an open source supporter and user. From the time my parents bought an internet-connected PC, which happened to be a Windows 95-powered Packard Bell (yeah, I know, crap) in 1997, I have found ways to never use Micro$oft products. I used Netscape on that PC until the Mozilla Suite was introduced, and I have never looked back. I have used Mozilla Firefox since it's inception as Mozilla Phoenix v0.2, if some of you remember that browser project. I have converted many of my friends and family to Firefox and even installed Mozilla Firefox 1.0 on all of my high school's science programs when I was in 11th grade.
I hope to contribute greatly to this project and to have a goal of Firefox-izing my campus.
Cheers to ongoing success!

Hello everybody.I'm Vishal from Bangalore, India.Around a year and half ago, I wasn't even aware of FF.But the first time I used it some time back, I was really surprised rather fascinated by its sheer performance and speed.From then on it was no turning back.Many browsers have since then come and gone (chrome,opera) but nothing came even close to that of FireFox.The thing that I like most about FF is the countless add-ons you can add to customize your needs.Its like a mini Operating System with almost all the tasks done within the browser itself.What's more its open-source and thats just the icing to the cake :)
All in all, its really my pleasure to join this great community dedicated to the *King of ALL Browsers* and hope to contribute atleast something to this community.
Regards,
Vishal

Hey all!,
I am Joel from Penn State University. I am majoring in Security Risk Analysis in the college of IST. I have been using firefox for a very long time, and I guess you could say that I am addicted to it, and I like to spread my addiction. I have tested many browsers throughout my years, and have found none better than firefox. It is truely a great tool, and I would be proud to represent it at my campus. I also help teach at my school, which puts me infront of hundreds of students a couple times a week. I am also around 6' 7" so I guess you could say I am a walking billboard. I am trying to enlist a group of friends at my campus to help with the various projects we are going to try and install here. I will also try to get my professors involved in them also, I believe they will be ery interested in trying to introduce open source software to our campus.
Wish me luck!

Hi all'
My name is Sando George and I'm a second year student pursuing a BSc in Computer Science at the University of Guyana, in Guyana, South America. I'm a BIG FAN of open source software in general and i think Firefox is just about the greatest thing the WWW has going for it. I can't live without the Firefox browser.
I have always been trying to convert internet users to Firefox but never at a formal level. I'm looking forward to starting a "crew" on campus to help me spread the word about this great project from Mozilla. I'm so hooked on Firefox i gave my browser a pet name......foxy:)
Viva Mozilla!!!!!
Hi all!!

My name is Praveen Ratna Deepak and I am a 2nd year Masters Student in Information Systems and Management from the International School of Information Management, University of Mysore. I am glad to see many Firefox afficionados here! Glad to meet you all fellas :)
My ideas would be to have meetings of various college-level reps at local (geographical) level and discuss, meet & spread the word by going to Schools, colleges , etc.
I also am working with several online and offline Open Source Support movements for the cause.
Also, a BIG thanks to Jay and the Firefox Team which is Spreading the beauty of Firefox to many users. As they say, Catch 'em Young!
Would love to work and spend some quality time with all you folks,
Firefox all the way!
Cheers,
Praveen Ratna Deepak
Hi folks
I am Sharath Satheesh from Kerala, India. I am an Electronics and communication Engineering student, doing my third year of studies at St. Joseph's College of Engineering and Technology, Palai. Well, i have been using firefox, since I was studying in my 9th standard and it was a friend of mine who recommended me to use it, and upon doing it i was bowled over by its user friendliness, the use of tabs abd all, (which the I.E never had at that time). from then on, firefox was my favorite browser. i like it becoz of its many unique features like addons themes and extentions.
Later on, when I came to know and learn about the open source initiative, I could see firefox was the best example to what happens when every one comes together and does whatever they are good at and share it. Thats the spirit of open source, and that is what I think is enabling mozilla spread the fire!

Heylo y'all!
Name's Glet. I'm a 1st year student at Edison University in Fort Myers, FL. I'm majoring in Information Technology with focus in Network Aministration and Security. I absolutely LOVE firefox as well as Thunderbird. Together they take care of all my web browsing and E-mailling needs. I've been using firefox since back in the mid to late 90s when it was still called Mozilla. I'm happy to say I've almost never had to use another browser at home. I joined to try and get my school more involved with the firefox project. They still unfortunately use IE as do most of the students. Anyways, nice to know there are so many others out there with similar interests.
