=== Semester opening ceremony ===
 
'''Dunaújváros, Hungary, 2015 September 9'''
 
Joining us: Brian King representing Mozilla
 
All other participating institutions already in the MOOC course join the event on live stream (including 2015/fall semester's new participants Eger & Miskolc)
 
College of Dunaújváros will join the Firefox OS education program in Hungary!

College of Dunaújváros will host its first course on Firefox OS application development at the College this next semester. The College has a &quot;contributor wall&quot; with long-term University collaborators' logos, where we plan to place a Mozilla signboard to join the other logos -- at the start of the semester we plan on having a reveal ceremony for the plaque, and spending most of the day at the main hall, setting up a Mozilla booth, speaking about Mozilla technologies, and helping students partake in the newly founded courses on Open Web education.
 
There is a detailed rundown on costs and information on the above event at the etherpad url: [https://etherpad.mozilla.org/remo-mozilla-firefoxos-semester-opening-ceremony-college-of-dunaujvaros https://etherpad.mozilla.org/remo-mozilla-firefoxos-semester-opening-ceremony-college-of-dunaujvaros]
 
It would be great to have Brian King as an official representative of Mozilla (not unlike the event for the Óbuda University ceremony).
