Assembly required...
Tuesday, 4. July 2006, 18:49:21
I am going to Finland for Assembly '06 at the start of August. The event sounds like fun, like the Gathering (the one in Norway, not the medieval event in Australia). It will be hard, just a few of us have to man a stand 24 hours a day, as well as give talks and maybe an online workshop or two, but hopefully we will get to meet a bunch more Opera users and community members, see some cool new widgets developed, and enjoy ourselves enough to cope with the stress 
Afterwards I will get to see a new country - we have planned to spend a couple of days in Talinn, Estonia, to make up for our lost weekend. So I should find some time to resurrect my SVG map that let you interactively say where you have been. (The code is the easy part. The hard bit is gettting the data in the first place).
At some point I am also going to visit a friend's grave in Finland. It's not quite so much fun as geeking out and having drinks with people, but it is important to me (and some other close friends of his who are going). I don't go to a lot of graves or anything, although cemeteries are pretty relaxing places. But this involves some important unfinished business.
Anyway, if you're passing through Helsinki at that time and interested in the gathering, come and say hello (Opera is a sponsor and will have a stand, so we should be easy enough to find). Likewise if you're interested in a chat over a beer in Talinn on the 7th or 8th of August, or have a recommendation for where to do that, please let me know (search engines know my email address). I have never been there before, so I am looking forward to it.

So who are in your task force?

Nice to hear that Opera is a sponsor of the Assembly show, I might come there myself
I have tried to get the Assembly-guys to chamge their website regarding something I feel isn't really correct:
On the finnish pages there is a notion that one of the forms that can be used for registering places at the show doesn't work with Opera 7.x, and they recommend to use Firefox instead.... But as they haven't replied to my mail and not made any changes to their page, I urge you, as a sponsor of the show to get them to change the text to upgrade to Opera 9.
Thank you
