Well everyone, the promotion has finished! :) The weather and the Macedonia - Scotland soccer match kept people in their houses, but we still got plenty of visitors. 3 hours of fun on the city square in Skopje and Kumanovo was great. People came, they got to know the Firefox browser, the +5000 addons, Mozilla and the Macedonian promotion team.

But words cannot do anything here, so thanks to Damjan Arsovski, we have a bunch of nicely shot pictures of the Skopje promotion.

Dig in to our Flickr gallery, here. For more info about the promotion itself and the group can be found in this blog post.

Well guys, only a single day to go until the Firefox promotion here in Skopje and Kumanovo. The whole team is very excited to let you know all the things we have accomplished so far here in Macedonia:

Pre-promotion:

Printing and burning CD's with the Macedonian and Albanian locale of Firefox 3.5.2 was a priority. [preview]

Marketing and spreading the word was also on the top of the to-do's list. Apart from flayers that we will distribute before the promotion, we have gotten support from a local marketing company, which offered us billboards free of charge! They got them up yesterday. preview / design preview

We also did a TV interview with a local TV station about the group and it's activities:

Promotion:

Setting up around 3pm, the promotion is scheduled to start around 4pm, both in Skopje and Kumanovo.

We will have 3 laptops ready for people to experiment with Firefox 3.5.2 and 2 team members on stand-by to help them out. On each laptop, there will be a separate set of Addons, each deigned for a specific person (designer, programmer, social junkie).

On the other side, we will have yet another laptop, but on this one there will be a presentation set up, a set of Firefox questions to be precise. All that will be interested, can stop by and test their knowledge of Firefox's features. The questions will be very easy, and for each participent there will be a prize (badge, FF tattoos, set of stickers, neck-strap...). If a person gets the question wrong, the team member will explain to all the present bystanders what the right answer is and why.

Every hour we will be giving out free Firefox installation CD's with a custom designed menu on Macedonian and Albanian, setup for FF 3.5.2 and a guide for Internet Explorer users.

Post-promotion:

We plan to make the group an official organization. Also, we shall not forget Thunderbird :)

Well everyone, that's all for now, if you can make it to the promotion, we will be very happy, and as for those that are outside the Republic of Macedonia, you can catch the live stream on our webpage: link

Till next time! :)
