Some Assembly Required

Chaals just went to sleep, so I'll have the opportunity to do a post

I had the privilege of spending some time at the Opera stand in Assembly 2006. I did not have the stamina to dig out the whole event: I was a cheater and only spent friday night and came back on sunday morning. It has been an interesting to meet some employees and play around with the DS version of Opera. I also attended the seminars held by Chaals, Gorme and Balder.

There was a steady stream of people on the stand checking out products, asking about the browser and the job opportunities. Most of them walked away with a squishy ball, mousepad, t-shirt or something else, so Opera should be more visible in the finnish scene from now on

I'm sure the presence of Opera at the event was a good move: make people aware that Opera is one option for your daily browsing. In a perfect world (wide web) every browser and developer would support standards and people could use the one they want to, not the one they have to for compability reasons. Diversity, baby.
