Internal events at Opera Software

Friday October 10 was the anniversary for the founding of HERN Labs. HERN Labs was founded in 1998, and two years later, HERN Labs became Opera Software. HERN is short for Henrik, Erik, Rikard and Nicklas, and on Friday, all four joined us for a big party in Linköping on Friday. (Erik is no longer working at Opera)

We met at the office in Linköping, where we first played a nationality bingo with the 15 nationalities represented at the Opera Sweden office. We had a buffet with food from all the different nations, sung lots of songs, told jokes, and all the four HERN founders held a speech.
After dinner, all guests were divided into groups that were to write a song for HERN and Opera Software based on certain words. Later, each group performed their song, and it was amazing what the groups had made! Throughout the whole night, we also had individual competitions, where the goal was to collect pins with pictures of the HERN guys.

Pins were awarded for correct answers during dinner and other fun stuff. The winners were Jenni and Markus. Congratulations!
