A few weeks ago, Mozilla Catalan team celebrated the launch of the new 3.5 version of Firefox.

   The first community party we organised was in The 1916, an Irish Pub in Cerdanyola del Vallès, a town close to Barcelona and just 2 days after the new browser release. Our local community enjoyed a great time whereas we explained the aim of Mozilla project to both habitual clients and supporters who came deliberately to the celebration.

   Two weeks later, a second party took place at Espai Mallorca, a cultural site devoted to the Mediterranean Island in the very Barcelona city centre. Over 30 people participated and joined in interesting discussions about what Open Web means and the new improvements of Firefox 3.5.

   Eduard Gamonal held a short presentation about the new features and showed a series of demos about how Firefox 3.5 actually upgrades the Web.

   Toni Hermoso introduced the new Ubiquity 0.5, localised in Catalan as well, and talked about the new concept of communication with the browser by using the natural language.

   Diana Coromines held a short practical presentation about how to translate articles in SUMO and she invited the participants to get involved by explaining the benefits of having support in your own language.

   Alina Mierluș closed the session by making a presentation about the importance of collaborating, where she presented the advantage of being a community member and also, a few of the newest Mozilla initiatives, in which people from any kind of background or location can join in, such as Mozilla Service Week or Mozilla Creative Collective.

  Afterwards, we enjoyed a Majorcan food snack and all attendees received the new Firefox 3.5, some Mozilla Firefox Goodies and calendars.

  We prepared free USB sticks with Fedora 11 with Firefox 3.5 included and Firefox 3.5 portable for Mac OS X.

  We would like to thank our collaborators for making Barcelona party happen: Fundació .cat, Consell de Mallorca and Espai Mallorca, Mozilla Europe and, last but not least, Fedora Linux Catalan Community, which prepared for us a customised and fully-localised distribution with the new Firefox 3.5 up-to-date available by default.
