The session started with opening by the campus community leader Agus Mulyana, then continued with the introduction of Mozilla and Mozilla Indonesia by Hanif. Hanif wrapped the session with fun and familiarity with everyone since he is an active student in this college, and also part of both Tosca and Mozilla Indonesia community (what to say^^).

The intention of keep the user’s privacy and online personal identity safe are always being a top priority now and then. By spreading the word and tell people about this campaign, we already being part of the social mission of raising awareness of people around us, that we can have control over our online activities so no unknown parties will taking advantages or misused our data without our concern.
The next session which brought by Iffan was talking about Web Virtual Reality (Web VR). Iffan is a Mozillian and also one of keyholder at Mozilla Community Space Jakarta. Iffan had shared this find-out-and-tweak-together session that combined with his typical developer jokes which made this heavy subject become super fun and easy to digest, especially with college students fellows. This session explore more about how Mozilla giving the access to everyone get the same opportunities that has interest in VR technology. As we know, because VR technology is kind of new in the tech world, so it affects on the high price tag to get the VR headset. The better our expectation result, the more bucks we need to invest. Web VR is showing a win-win solution for people that willing to learn this VR technology in the minimum budget -even less to zero budget- to get the similar experience as through headset. Newbie? no worries! Mozilla provide some sites that you can jump into it, such as mozvr.com and aframe.io.
