This is the voice of Free Opera

A look at Norway, home of Opera Software

, ,

With nearly 400 employees from 40 different countries, and boasting numerous offices around the world, Opera is truly an international company. That said, however, Opera is tied very closely to Norway, where it was founded. Despite the company's rapid international expansion, the Oslo office of Opera is still the main headquarters where the vast majority of Opera employees work.

To understand Opera, therefore, one also has to know something about Norway. I've been to Oslo three times, each trip related to work. I've been learning more and more about Norwegian culture, and I've gotten some small sense of how it influences the culture of Opera (but I'll leave it to my colleagues to comment on that if they have time).

For those of you who can't make it to Norway, I highly recommend the following article recently published in Conde Nast Traveler magazine online: Norway's New Groove

Black metal bands are much more famous in other countries than Norway. We mostly export that stuff, believe it or not. I didn't really know it was that famous around before I moved to an other country, and the the things people knew about Norway was that Norway is cold, expensive and had good Black Metal bands.

@Lawrence:
You have been here 3 times and you have not told us? Come on, tell us next time, and we can go out for a beer. Or a milk or what ever p:
