Opera CEO at user event in Tokyo!

Opera Japan user event

The user event was held Saturday, May 26, in the Opera Tokyo office. It all started with TERRAZI (a heavy Opera fan), who discovered an article saying that Opera could provide pizza for meetups in college campuses. He asked staff from our office in Tokyo about pizza who would be more than happy to both provide food and space for the meetup.

With almost 30 participants gathered they all had a slice of pizza and discussed Opera for more than an hour. After food they had a surprise guest from inside a PC monitor: The brave swimmer, Jon S. von Tetzchner, who joined via video Skype. After a nearly 90 minutes () chat they all agreed that this was true success.

During the discussion they made a nickname for him: "Tetz-chan". "Chan" is a title used to describe a familiar person in Japanese. You can see the more detailed meaning of "chan" at wikipedia.

Yes, from now on we call him "Tetz-chan" in Japan!
