Opera in Southeast Asia
Friday, 26. January 2007, 10:19:14
Opera's Vyoma Kapur went personally back to her hometown in Singapore and hosted a Web Standards Conference in the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) last Tuesday, 16th Jan. 2007. This was the first time ever Opera had done something in Southeast Asia. With more than 100 people present, we exceeded the target of 70 attendees 
.
There were two speakers- Lucian Teo from the Web Standards Group, Singapore and Michael Smith from Opera, Japan. Lucian gave an introduction to Web Standards and its state in Singapore. Michael explained the Web Standards situation with really interesting analogies. He also showed Opera's commitment to Open Standards and a demonstration of the browser.
Check out the Web Standards Group, Singapore here. They recently had their first meetup - kudos to that! Images have also been uploaded

If any of you are interested in promoting Opera, please send me a message on my blog or email me at vyomak@opera.com and I'll send you some promotional stuff... including t-shirts!!
We aren't doing anything in Malaysia or Hong Kong anytime soon, but if any of you in those countries (or any other country) would like to host a meetup, do let me know and I'll help you along. You can read a meetup-hosting guide here where you'll find more details:
