Initiative Other
Category Evangelism Mission
Description The event was focussed around Internet Health. Mozilla produced the Internet Health Report. It is an independent, open source compilation of data, research and stories that show how the Internet is evolving across five issues. Shreyas is a member of the Internet Health Report Committee and represents India. He spoke about the Internet Health Report and the various issues that affect the Internet.
Working with researchers, digital rights activists, Mozilla fellows and our community, we tell a collaborative story of how the Internet is – and isn’t – healthy from a human perspective. The Report draws on a wide body of existing research on issues ranging from privacy to connectivity, to online harassment and the economics of online platforms. we want to encourage a broader understanding of how the problems facing the global Internet relate to one another, and to shine a light on what people are doing to make the ecosystem healthier. We, as humans, can change the Internet for the better. This report is a resource and call to action for everyone who is ready, in big ways and small, to take on this challenge.
Shivika Sahni spoke on women in technology, how women can contribute to technology and open source, and the factors that prevent them from contributing to tech. She also discussed Imposter Syndrome.
The event happened over 2 days in Darbar college for the computer science department students and Shams school for high school students from 9-12th grade.
