As to organising a conference - blimey it's not easy and I have a new found respect for Danny and the others! Moving to a free version was a good move for Opera - I was put off by the ads before too (and too cheap to buy a browser!). They have some serious competition in Firefox but it was good to hear how they have supported (and even written in some cases) the standards for browsers (XML/CSS etc.). They are well ahead of FireFox in those areas. Yes the event went down very well here but they have a huge user base in Russia (their largest for any country).

Sounds like the students really really know thier stuff and asked good questions. I tried Opera back in the day and liked the tab feature, everyone has that now, but I think there were ads. Have to try it again. Good move by Opera to get out and do this, I think they may have some loyal fans. Good job hosting this event Nick.
