00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.940
(music)

00:00:02.940 --> 00:00:07.590
I started contributing to Mozilla in 2011

00:00:07.590 --> 00:00:12.410
working on a school project to 
localize Mozilla Firefox

00:00:12.410 --> 00:00:15.443
to one of the local languages in Uganda

00:00:16.093 --> 00:00:18.980
It was an exciting project because,


00:00:18.980 --> 00:00:22.498
in terms of localizing, 
we had to create language packs

00:00:22.498 --> 00:00:26.123
um, then I moved on to join the rep's program

00:00:26.123 --> 00:00:32.114
where I've been helping advancing
across of Mozilla until now

00:00:32.304 --> 00:00:34.589
I'm the founding member of the community

00:00:34.589 --> 00:00:37.608
I founded the community 
but I also lead the community

00:00:38.048 --> 00:00:41.170
I've had a lot of interesting experiences

00:00:41.170 --> 00:00:43.780
obviously, five years is a long time

00:00:43.780 --> 00:00:46.895
but the most recent one has been

00:00:46.895 --> 00:00:49.560
the success of 
Mozilla Festival East Africa

00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:52.267
where we had the president come

00:00:52.267 --> 00:00:54.477
and officiate the event

00:00:54.477 --> 00:00:58.456
and many other interesting people
and things going on during the event

00:00:59.026 --> 00:01:01.657
I would say it's great. 
I've learned a lot,

00:01:01.657 --> 00:01:03.991
I've met a lot of people

00:01:03.991 --> 00:01:06.681
I've come a long way

00:01:06.681 --> 00:01:10.261
I think that maybe you'll see
me and admire me

00:01:10.261 --> 00:01:13.828
and that's because of what the community
has shaped me into
