Web Developer Chat: Jon von Tetzchner

By thomas.ford. Friday, 23. February 2007, 15:59:27

You may have seen we're approaching the 1001st widget on widgets.opera.com. 1001 widgets is a milestone we want to celebrate properly with the readers of this blog. So we invited a special guest to our Web chat next week.

More than 11 years ago, Jon von Tetzchner and Geir Ivarsøy huddled in a darkened corner of Telenor to create what would become Opera. Fast forward to today and Opera is everywhere. That success is due in no small part to Jon and Geir's original vision to make Opera small and portable.

And now we're sitting down to chat with the main man himself. Please join us next Thursday, March 1st, at 5:00 PM CET (or whatever the time is where you are) over on #webapps.

See you there!

I hope I'll be around and awake for it. I haven't been home much in the past couple of weeks (lots of computers to repair), and I have no idea if I will get a break on Thursday...

For all the people that can't make it: post questions you have here in the comments. Then I or someone else will ask them for you

As always, there will be a log available after the chat.

It's time for an computerscreen in the kichen because there's where I am at 5:00

By ytsmabeer, # 28. February 2007, 15:14:12

I will be there.

It is going to be limited to a specific topic? or can we ask just about anything? such as: "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a noise?"
