Opera Live at The Gathering (Part Deuce)

, , , ...

We have our little home setup here at The Gathering - a cozy little area with couches and some sweet demo machines (with PCs running widgets, presentations and a few cool devices). Chaotic sounds of thumping techno music and Counter Strike "Bomb defused" are all over - then here's our booth blaring Opera music.
We've had a lot of really bright and curious people come by interested in prizes, the Opera Browser, jobs at Opera, widgets, standards and just about anything else. Many of the people we've been talking to were the same that showed up to Chaals' presentation on Web standards.
Far away from the chaos downstairs, the auditorium was a nice break. Chaals was able to give his presentation on the importance of Web standards, his involvement with a number of organizations and how important accessibility is (and will continue to be) to the Web. He offered up a number of great examples of uses and even a few "far fetched" ones just to make sure everyone was paying attention. Afterwards, there were a bunch of questions covering a bunch of different topics. How long till it's released? Why does Opera do this?
And as abruptly as this nice little escape began, we're now back in our booth in the midst of this techno / Opera / videogame chaos. Technology is great, aint it?
