"Kabbo" is the first Bengali poem apps in Firefox Marketplace.

For the last couple of months, i was working on some Firefox OS apps ideas. After analysis, I feel the shortage of Bengali literature based apps in Firefox Marketplace. So i engaged myself for developing "Kabbo", a collection of 100+ Bengali poems apps. This December the apps published in Firefox marketplace. Initially there are some basic features like platform independent, offline usability, compatible in all Firefox, poem search option and so on.

কাব্য" এপ্লিকেশনটি বাংলা ছড়া ও কবিতা সংকলন করার একটা ছোট উদ্যোগ। ফায়ারফক্স ওএস ব্যবহারকারীদের বাংলা কাব্য চর্চাকে উৎসাহিত করার জন্য মূলত এ উদ্যোগ নেওয়া হয়েছে।

In this version added 9 poems of Satyendranath Dutta, 5 poems of Jogindranath Sarkar, 50 poems of Sukumar Ray, 4 poems of Jatindramohan Bagchi, 24 poems of Rabindranath Tagore and 10 unsorted poems.


Now based on the feedback from the users, working on the next version update of the apps.

This seminar is being organized to gather high school and college students together, and promote involvement in the IT industry amongst them. Venue: Auditorium, International School Dhaka, Bashundhara.

A small seven member Mozilla Bangladesh team attended the three hour conference.

We meet some celebrities like Nash Islam (CEO at G&R), Riyad Husain (CEO at Magnito Digital), Kazi Monirul Kabir (Country Consultant Bangladesh at Google), Fahim Mashroor (Founder and CEO at bdjobs.com) and so on. During the conference they share their sweet and sour experience, which was interesting and very inspiring. They talk about honesty, self judgment, creative ideas, how to manage time and most importantly entrepreneurship.

After the conference i talk with some of the speakers about Mozilla Bangladesh community and possible future coordination. We share our views and facts. The other Mozillians also talk with them about different topics. I display our "KEON" device, describe features and spread Mozilla by distributing WebFWD swag.
