We have held our first WebExtension activity on Wednesday.
https://www.meetup.com/Mozilla-Meetup-Switzerland/events/238221995/
@freaktechnik was kind enough to give us an introduction to WebExtensions and was available as a mentor with his amazing knowledge. This definitely helped a lot.
We got some initial feedback from participants and organizers as well: https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/mozillach-webext-results
Here are some other remarks:
- We made it “open end”, so participants can stay as long as they want
- The majority of participants went home after they completed their first WebExtension from the tutorial
- Having this activity without the pressure of “having to go home to relax after a hard day of work or going back to family” would help with that I think
- Some of the participants (at least 2) had their own ideas on what WebExtensions they could do next
- This was probably the first meetup we did where we got at least 2 comments with feedback on meetup.com after the meetup. Before that we had radio silence regarding feedback on meetup.com. This is quite interesting.
- We are thinking about doing this again next month to have a followup (and introduction for new participants)
Cheers,
Michael
