In her blogpost, Anazkia said that she wanted to learn and to know more about creating a web. As a blogger, she said, she didn't know enough.
She was one of more than twenty participants who enthusiastically registered for and attended the workshop that day. I'm touched because she was willing to spend so much time and effort to join the program. It was the first of #MozBelajar (belajar means to study) series, and the Eventbrite registration filled up quickly and was fully booked in less than 24 hours since its announcement.
I opened the workshop by asking the participants to share their hopes and expectations related to this program in post-notes. We stuck the notes to a tree I had drawn on a large sheet of paper, and from there, we made our "Tree of Hope" for this workshop. I learned that this inventory of expectations is important to get the participants focused on the things we are going to deliver in the program. If an
expectation exceeds the program plan, then I will set it aside for the time being and say that I will consider this expectation (such as: able to create a Forefox OS based applications) as a request to be
fulfilled in another, or a future, session.
After a short presentation about Mozilla Community and Mozilla projects, Fauzan and Rizky shared some Thimble, X-Ray Goggles and Popcorn basics, as the three important tools in creating “makes” with Webmaker. This session lasted until 12 o'clock in the afternoon, before participants could begin to try and use each tool by themselves.
Soon after our Timbel (read it like Thimble) Rice, the next session began with Spectrogram on Soto. The participants decided their positions based on several statements/sentences related to Soto. It was a fun and funny session. Some participants had really strong arguments about the different aspects of Soto. But the most important thing was, once this spectrogram ended, they started to really really think about Soto.
The small group discussion continued with a two-hour session where participants tried to create “makes” together with their groups. We asked each group to create three “makes”, one using Thimble, the other two using X-Ray Goggles and Popcorn. We also asked them to create those “makes” based on the Soto they had chosen.
These are the “makes” they created in 2 hours:

By the time they presented their works to everyone, we asked all participants and fellow Reps to vote for the most creative and most interesting “makes”. Group 03 became everyone's favourite. They clearly deserved to receive swag as a token of appreciation.
