Panel Picker - Vote for us

, ,

That time of year is upon us again... It's time to vote for your favorite SXSW panels. Of course, we have a few Opera proposals in there, so be sure to give a five-star rating to these fantastic sessions that we are pretty confident will be the highlight of SXSW. We hope by having this presence at this prestigious interactive festival will increase the awareness of Opera, Web standards and the One Web.

Thanks for making sure Opera continue to have a strong presence in the Web industry. :yes:
