WoMoz  as we know, is a community composed of members from different Open Source projects. Mainly dedicated to improving women's involvement in Open Source and Mozilla in order to increase the number of women contributors. And here if we talk about the current ratio then, among all the contributors only 5% are women and in this 5% hardly 1.5% are contributing under a Technical vertical (eg. CodeBase). 
Keeping this in mind, we at MozillaMITS organized a two day event "CodeBase @ MUST ", in order to encourage more and more women for contribution.

Event : CodeBase @ MUST
Event Coordinators : Ms. Namrata Jain
                                   Mr. Sagar Chand Agarwal
Event Speakers : Mr. Osho Parth
                            Mr. Shabhaz Alam
                            Mr. Sagar Chand Agarwal

Event started on 28th of November, with the agenda of covering codebase, app dev and addons development at Mody University, Laxmangarh.

Students of all years and streams who were interested took part in the event. Sagar started the session with GIT followed by IRC.Since, it was all new for attendees it took a bit more then expected time in start up, but all went well once they got familiar, and thus this session ended with complete hands on demonstrations.

Next session was of App development with speaker Shabhaz. "App development" has always been a topic of great interest among students, here in Mody, scene was no different. Shabhaz explained each and every step with full patience and enthusiasm, thus at the end students where able to upload their app on MarketPlace.It was great fun.
