Geolocation in a Box: India - Nasik chapter
URL https://location.services.mozilla.com/
Hashtag #mozGeo
Description Following the success of the first pilot, this second geolocation pilot event will continue to evangelize the community to adopt MozStumbler & use it on daily basis to enrich the Mozilla location-service. Spreading the MozStumbler app towards a better internet in and around Nasik City.
Pitch
We need spread the effort out to the remote areas & evangelize the community on why it is important to have an open location-service, which can be tremendously helpful for other FLOSS projects which can leverage from it (e.g. OSM).
Format
The event will focus on the early-adopter target audience, who already have a good sense of geolocation, maps, traffic-data etc.
We'll break the week-long event in two parts:
- The promotion/demonstration of the Mozilla Location Service
- Scout around the country with MozStumbler app on the devices
Outcomes
The MozStumbler leaderboard should be a good motivation to keep a healthy competition among the contributors. We also need to plan around the reward model for the contribution stats. Breaking in groups, we can cover a huge part of the city.
