Hi everyone, I am back in Oslo and happy after three successful events in Poland. Here is a recap of what happened.
Monday, 4th June 2007, Art Hotel, Wrocław
We gathered at 11:00 o'clock to officially welcome Poland to the Opera team. Opera's CEO, Jon S. von Tetzchner and Krystian Kolondra spoke at the event. Krystian Kolondra and Kuba Puchar will head the office in Poland.
Of course our Poland team was there and also a number of journalists from the Polish media. In addition, guests from the University of Wroclaw, Wroclaw University of Technology and from Wroclaw Agglomeration Development Agency were also present to establish local relations with our Polish branch. This is actually very important as the Wroclaw office is expanding. The original number of employees was 23 and since then 3 more people were hired. So if you are interested in working for Opera in Poland, have a look at our job listings.
Opera in Wroclaw moved to a centrally located office on Szewska 8, with a view over the cathedral, 2 minutes from the main square.

In the morning Opera together with Onet.pl organised a press conference in Warsaw to announce Opera's strategic partnership with Onet.pl, Poland's largest Web portal.
Onet.pl's services will be included in Opera to provide more relevant services and search results to our Polish users. More info about the common offering is available on opera.onet.pl.
In the evening we inaugurated Opera's presence on the Polish market at the Opera Backstage event in Warsaw in You and Me Bar. This was a great event! We had around 95 guests from our Polish partners and press to bloggers, opinion makers and web developers. I finally met Quiris who has always been a great help especially promoting Opera in Poland and giving us advice.
When Håkon whipped out his 100$ laptop a crowd gathered around him instantly. People tried Opera on different devices, checked out their websites on Nintendo Wii and enjoyed eating, drinking and meeting fellow members of the Polish Opera community. It was also interesting to meet Polish technical minds and IT community.
I could not have realized that this world is so small and everybody knows each other. It's great to put so many faces with all the names and I can't wait to see what other great things are in store for Opera in Poland.
