My first Campus Crew Session

By Siddharth Srivastava. Thursday, 19. November 2009, 15:06:18

, ,

Hi all
At last I got my first opera campus crew session done.
The session was organized on 14th November 2009.
It saw a very good participation of 102 students. It was good to see such a huge participation considering the fact that examination season have started in the university. The session was very interactive and the attendees were given a basic introduction about the technologies provided by Opera. The students were amazed after knowing that how multidimensional opera is.
The core of the discussion was the Opera Browsers which included a detailed introduction to the latest Opera 10 browser.
In addition to that, the attendees were given a brief introduction to the web development and other dimensions of opera such as unite etc.









As my examination season have started and will continue till December end. Hopefully I'll be able to get over them quite well. Wish me luck !!!

202: First step Done

By Siddharth Srivastava. Thursday, 19. November 2009, 14:51:22

,

Hi
I am very glad to share that I have been able to migrate my institutes computer labs to Opera now.
Labs covered are
1) Linux Lab
2) Software Engineering Lab
3) VLSI Lab
4) Most importantly the Computer Center (Every student in the university visits their atleast once every day)
which have in total 202 Computers.
All of them have Opera as their primary browser now.

As far as photos are concerned, we are not allowed to take photos of Lab without official permission. This was delayed as I had exams in between (1st- 7th November)so was not able to take NOC.

Note: This entry should have come here a lot earlier. Mistakenly I have been posting all this on my own blog, thanks to Zara for correcting me.

Opera In Kenya Goes Door to Door...

By FELIX KIMARU. Wednesday, 18. November 2009, 20:48:25

It is not an easy task to walk into someone’s house trying to portray something to people with different interests. You will definitely be worried about the way they are going to receive you. Will they let you talk to them, will they even let you in or will they eject you immediately ? These are among the few questions you will ask yourself and definitely get goose bumps.
But trust me people, WE DID IT!!
In 187 rooms we managed to visit, we install Opera Browser in 66 laptops and desktop computers. This is amazing, I know. Most of the students wore a welcoming face and it was amazing that they even know us as the OCC guys. In that note, we had little task to introduce ourselves.
The number of people using Opera Mini is quite huge and in all those rooms we attended we found at least one person using OM. The total number of users who had OM already installed was 137 students. The rest had phones which do not support any java application (“China Phone types”). I though found one student using Bolt web browser but we are happy to have him as among us. I am sure that you will want to hear about Mini 5, this version is rare this because most phones do not meet the minimum requirements. Imagine only 7!
We have all these data saved for future reference.

Opera Mobile 10 Beta for Windows Mobile

By Zara. Wednesday, 18. November 2009, 07:03:02

,

Following on from the launch of Opera Mobile 10 beta for Nokia and other Symbian S60 smartphones two weeks ago, Opera Software is now unveiling Opera Mobile 10 beta for Windows Mobile.

The Opera Mobile 10 beta for Windows Mobile looks and feels similar to the Opera 10 desktop browser and Opera Mini 5 beta. Opera is creating more cohesion between its products by introducing a unified look across many of its platforms. Opera maintains its powerful arsenal of features in this
beta, including Speed Dial, tabbed browsing, a password manager and its super, server-side compressor, Opera Turbo.

1. Intuitive new interface – Opera has thrown out the clutter and is keeping it simple in terms of aesthetics. Less is more when it comes to mobile browsing.
2. Speed Dial – Speed Dial serves as your personal table of contents for the Web. Your favorite sites welcome you upon launching Opera, and in one click, you are there.
3. Tabbed browsing – Open new links in multiple tabs to bounce between sites easily.
4. Password manager – Save those annoying passwords with Opera’s password manager, or if you are feeling vulnerable, simply and swiftly delete all.
5. Touchscreen or keypad navigation – Whether your Windows Mobile smartphone is touchscreen or keypad-based, Opera Mobile 10 beta is customized for your navigation style.
6. Save images – Select and save your friends’ Facebook pictures to your phone for offline viewing later.
7. Opera Turbo – Offload your page rendering to one of Opera’s servers, and reduce your data costs.
8. Advanced compatibility - Since Opera Mobile 10 beta is based on Opera’s browser for desktop computers, it maintains advanced Web-site compatibility and ensures that nearly any site is accessible from a mobile phone.
9. Smooth surfing – Pan, zoom and smoothly scroll your way through the Web.
10. It is free! – Opera Mobile 10 beta for Windows Mobile is available as a free download at http://www.opera.com/mobile/ or m.opera.com/mobile/ (for phone download).

Spread the Word
Get involved in the Mobile Browsing World Series! These are activities – such as demonstrations, presentations or handing out fliers/posters – focusing on mobile browsing, that you can hold at any time on your campus.

Crew activities at ICT center

By Emmee. Sunday, 15. November 2009, 13:36:58

The ICT centre is the biggest cyber cafe in the University of Benin (one of the biggest versity in Nigeria), its a mega cafe with 5 halls. I don't need to tell u that intalling opera on 25 PCs in the ICT centre, having about 500 computers, is only a fraction of success, but we are determined to get permission to carry on with installation.

We also conducted a small quiz section at the ICT centre, and badges were give to those who got the answers correctly, flyers were also distributed to people who were there.
I'd like to thank crew member Onobun David for his assistance. Am having problems uploading photos

Opera Unite Installed on Linux Machines

By Kailash Budhathoki. Sunday, 15. November 2009, 10:57:08

The lab was equipped with 12 computers, with Ubuntu Operating System installed, in one of the remote parts of the Nepal. I was there for my personal work. There was firefox installed by default which consumed lots of resources in linux machines. I proposed to my friend why don't we install Opera browser there and see the result. Soon we installed Opera Unite on all those machines.
The feedback i got from the users were really worth mentioning here. They were impressed by the Graphical User Interface of Opera browser. The performance of Opera browser was also much appreciated by the users.

My First Internet Cafe Installation

By ish jindal. Saturday, 14. November 2009, 13:02:17

Hi friends!!

Finally I completed my task of installing opera browser in the internet cafe nearby my campus...Well it was really hard to persuade the cafe guy to install opera in the machines..Initially he thought us to be normal customers who were just asking him for yet another browser but then we put on our OCC t-shirts and showed him the the cool opera bag(thanks to Zara mam)which I had brought for him as a gift and then he was finally convinced to get opera browser(stable version) installed in the computers..The cafes in this place are not too big and generally have 6 to 8 computers...Also the language spoken in this part of India is different to what I speak & thus it became a difficult task to tell the cafe owner what I was actually asking him to do...

It was overall a very nice experience and would be trying out many more tasks in the near future....
Sorry for the fact that I am not able to upload photos of the whole event here as I don't have a camera but will try out something next time.....

Good bye!!!

By PREMBIHARI SARAN. Friday, 13. November 2009, 17:16:54

I proposed Opera in Certification,Diploma and Post Graduate Diploma syllabus.Up to now several Universities,Colleges and Institutions Using Internet Explorer in their Syllabus.And at last after the completion of Entire browsing concept writing a last line like there are other Browsers also available like Mozilla Firefox,Opera,safari.

Now I changed this Picture in Our Institution's Syllabus.Now we are Teaching Opera 10 in the syllabus for Explaining browsing Concept.And at last as usual we are giving tag line.There are other browsers like IE,Mozilla Firefox,Safari,Chrome.

This is a new Revolution in Syllabus which will create awareness to Students towards Opera with turbo feature.I also suggested 5 Important Institutions to change their Syllabus too in the Similar manner.They are thinking.Soon i will post our Content of new browser concept.

This Course is Introduced in all our Institution's Certification,Diploma and Post Graduate Diploma Programs at Basic Level.And Opera Web Standers adapted as syllabus for Diploma in Web Standards.

I think these steps may Useful for Students to Learn more about Opera.
