Opera at SXSW 2008

Opera at SXSW Interactive

By Lawrence Eng. Wednesday, 5. March 2008, 00:05:59

South by Southwest (SXSW) is one of the premier film, music, and media technology festivals in the US. The Interactive Festival runs from Friday, March 7th — Tuesday, March 11th. This will be Opera's second year at the event, and we've got big plans to show Austin what Opera is all about.

The purpose of this blog is to share our memories from the festival with you (). Expect daily posts written by me (Lawmune) and a group of volunteers. We'll try to update (with photos) during the event itself so you know what's happening.

Take a look at the panel schedule, let us know what you want to hear about, and we'll see what we can do.

For now, we are busy setting things up, so coverage on Friday and Saturday will be limited, but we'll be in full swing starting on Sunday. We will definitely write about the following panels and events we're involved with:

Stay tuned!

Several of us attended that panel, so we will definitely post a full report about it shortly (within the next few days, max. It's just a bit hectic right now). Thanks for your patience!
