After the grand success of the first  and second experimental Pilot, the Mozilla Geolocation team is excited to run another pilot in India.

Mozilla  Geolocation service is so far the most open & public location service in the world, and now you have  the opportunity to help  make it  better. We have formed a Geolocation Taskforce for India which will be  helping the volunteers to carry out the Third pilot in their region.
It’s been a little more than one year since the last pilot event but we still have small events happening all over India and now, let’s take the opportunity of the third pilot & break our own past record!
Event Details
In order to improvise from our last pilot, we’ve figured that there’s no need for it to be an offline, single venue event. This time we’re going with pan-India scope right from the beginning & kicking-off with a virtual event (Video Conference over hangout), for anyone to join in, from anywhere in India.The kick off event has been scheduled at 8:00PM IST on 1st  Sept, 2015. 

Once kicked off, y’all will have 21days [3 week] (ending on 22st Sept, 2015 at 8:00PM IST) to scout all over India with MozStumbler. But make sure to register yourselves as a Geolocation scout (detailed later; registering is important).

Remote Sites
As the event will be kicked off with a virtual event, we’ve primarily selected a few remote sites where we’ll be having teams who will be joining us over the video conference. Here’s the list of locations we have so far:
