prague, event, opera, meetup
A dedicated Opera fan recently held an Opera meetup in Prague, Czech Republic. Three cheers and a big pat to Martin Polovinčák for hosting the first Opera meetup in Prague without any Opera employees present. He even baked a nice Opera shaped cake (click here for proof) 
!
There were 11 attendees and they discussed Opera on Apple hardware, creating Opera buttons and everyone got a chance to try out Opera. They were also celebrating the 4th anniversary of the Czech Opera fan site operacesky.net.
If you are interested in hosting a meetup in your town you can either get the starter kit here, or contact Opera employee Vyoma Kapur at: vyomak [@] opera.com (without square brackets) for more information.

opera, singapore, event
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
