2009, Stikom, opera software, indonesia
...
The Indonesia University tour this year was started on 16th November 2009 in Surabaya city. The weather in this city is around 34 degrees Celcius, pretty warm, but it was nice after having gray days in Oslo!
We arrived in Stikom Surabaya pretty early, 2 hours before, in case of the traffic jam happend. The lecturers guided us to walk around the university, and showed some awesome stuff that were made by some of the students there. Some of them is a dish washer
and a tool that can shake the
Angklung instrument to play songs.
Bruce Lawson, Zibin Cheah and I were enjoying Indonesian food at the canteen, accompanied by the director of Stikom as well, before the seminar was started.
This seminar was attended more than 300 students. Most of them were IT students, although there were also around 10 students are majoring in secretary.
In the evening we also met with some students from Stikom and also from My Opera Community based in Surabaya. It was nice to meet and know all of them.

indonesia, MobileMonday
We couldn't get enough of nasi goreng and Indonesian hospitality. So we went back to Indonesia and visited
Universitas Binus Nusantara, or better known as Binus.
Opera is invited as guest lecture and we got to sit down with 50 IT students to talk about "Mobile browsing and it's browser"
I am happy to be accompanied by three other Opera Campus Crew members: Mega, Yogi and Pak Risanto. They joined the campus crew program last year after we visited their universities. Mega kicked off the lecture by giving an introduction about Opera Campus Crew.
Students were curious to know about the one web philosophy. A student asked why his website works fine in one browser but not another. Apparently, web designers here are keen to make sure their sites are supported across different browsers.
Post-presentation, photos with friends.
After Binus, we moved on to
Jakarta's Mobile Monday event. Ali and Ryan, both long time friends of Opera came to join us. We presented to the crowd about Mobile browsing trends and Opera.
The slides from the
presentation in pdf is downloadable.The
Open Web Standards demo can be viewed by firing up index.html in Opera browser and going into fullscreen mode. You will need
Opera with Video Support to run some of the demos.

A fruitful event in Indonesia! We would like to take the chance to thank all participants and friends that made this possible. Special thanks goes to Ali, Gayuh, Julio and Heni.
We learnt a great deal from Indonesia and we hope to be here again next year. We visited 11 universities, three meetups and talked to a couple of thousand people.
Also, sup buntut, igar bakar, pisang bakar and durian are soo delicious! I'll be back for more.
Terima kasih and sampai betemu lagi.

indonesia, gajahmada, jogjakarta
Last but not least in Indonesia, we arrrived at Yogjakarta. This is a city with a blend of history and nature. Borobudur is an ancient pagoda lying in the heart of the jungle, which was built by several ancient kingdom in South East Asia. Lying some distance away from the city, we have the Merapi Volcano. This volcano is still very much alive and puffs smokes once in a while.
The Borobudur Temple
Gadjah Mada University students are a lively lot, and questions were thrown one after another toward us! My favourite question came from an insistent student who wants to learn more about encryption. The evening after the presentation, I was given a demonstration by Gajah Mada security experts in our meet-up in a local cafe.

Petra, ITS, Surabaya, indonesia
Next stop on our tour is Surabaya. Petra Christian University( Petra) and Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) played host to Opera.
Petra is a fine university overlooking the town of Surabaya. Students there definitely look very smart with their blue blazer. In this session we threw a special Q&A where the winner gets to go away with a specially designed Opera T-Shirt. I really liked the t-shirt but Putri refused to let me have one. 
In this round, Bruce threw a very cheeky question, you'll have to ask him what the question was!
After-event photo in Petra
Over the afternoon, we arrived at Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember. The crowd was sensational in ITS where students like to start asking question with "I have a very simple question...." Contrary to their opening line, the questions weren't simple at all and ITS surely deserved to be called a geeky university!

machung, brawijaya, indonesia, malang
We flew from Jakarta to the Apple Town, called Malang. In Brawijaya University, there were around 250 students who attended the seminar. We gave the Opera Messenger bag and Opera bookmark to the participants.
Then, we drove to another university called Ma Chung University. We were welcomed by the rain! Around 230 students were joining the seminar after the class ended. We also gave Opera merchandise to the students who were asking questions.
Picture will be uploaded soon! 
Update:
Both universities had great crowds. Our mediator in Brawijaya was an entertaining host. Also, Brawijaya must have been special to Putri as it is her alma matter. Here goes the photo! (Zibin)

Jakarta, indonesia, gunadarma
In most universities, alot of students were helping for the seminar. But not in this university. I was helped by 15 staff as the recepsionists, the MC, and etc. Almost 300 people were attending this seminar in Gunadarma University. And alot of students are interested tp join the internship as one of Opera Education Program.
There were some students who were still wanting to disscuse more about this issues and need to know more about Opera. So, we met them in the gathering which was held in Pulau Dua, Taman Ria Senayan at 7am.
Around 13 students were joining this meet-up.

Trisakti, Jakarta, University, seminar
...
This is the first seminar which is held in Jakarta. Abit difficult to find the venue. Even we have to againt the traffic rules since we didnt want to get stuck with the crazy traffic jam there (yeah, it's Monday! Monday morning hehe,,).
So.... we arrived there 1 hour before the seminar was started. Most of the seminars in this tour were started at 9am. I'm glad that Bruce and Zibin are OK with this
Also, mostly the Dean of the faculty in this University seminar opened the seminar by giving speech. Some students were coordinated with me to make the seminars go smooth before and after.
More than 230 people were there, mix between students and the lecturers from Informatics. More people love to use Opera browser
