Some Assembly Required

Packing up...

, , ,

OK folks, we are packing up. We have given out prizes (congratulations to Gasman for winning the standards prize in the browser demo, Jobe for winning the widget compo with badboll, and to everyone who won prizes or created entries in the compos), slept on the floor, lived on pizza and coffee and stayed out of the sun, helped people make widgets, explained dozens and dozens among the many things that makes Opera a truly great browser.

Now it's almost time to say goodbye. Many many thanks to Velmu for all his help here. Thanks to everyone who turned up at the stand to say hello or to ask about something or tell us something they thought was cool. Thanks to the organisers of the event, and all the staff who helped keep the event running.

And thanks to my colleagues on the Opera Team. It's been a lot of fun to hang out with you, even during the time when you were working in the day and I was sleeping behind you, or when I have been on the stand at the end of my night shift, eyes barely open but just a little more to get done before I sleep...

Bye all, and thanks. It's been a great party

Assembled in HelsinkiWe're done (for 2006...)

Wish I had been there this time... the widget competition seemed like my kind of thing =)

I live in Finland, but getting from Oulu to Helsinki = Painful for a poor student like me :]

I were there and thanks for the tips to the Opera and all the chat we had about Opera team and browser.
I had a great time chatting with you.

Well smile I've never thought we would get that far in the competition when we started smile

(btw. there were two developers on the badboll widget...)

Pengi, yes I knew that but I listed the submitted author name so people can easily look it up.

Thondhal, thanks for coming and for the feedback. Zomg, sorry you missed out, although I understand the pain of stretching a budget to pay for tickets. (It feels a bit like the pain you get sleeping on a tiled floor in a blanket for the third day in a row...)
