November 18, 2010 at 21:23Let's meet!
We have such a tradition in Opera - every year on December 31 we go to the bathhouse on each visit of top managers to our penises, we try to organize a meeting of big bosses in an informal setting for the user community. The purpose of such meetings is to give, as they say, direct access to the bodies of those who are at the helm of the company, responsible for the development of certain areas, products or technologies of Opera.
"Big bosses" - this is of course very pathetic said. And Opera is not a pathetic company at all. In the sense that they really steer big projects, but they are very accessible for discussions, questions, wishes, they like to joke and laugh in a good company. Well, to further liberate all participants in such meetings, we spend them at a beer / tea / coffee in various cozy cafes and bars.
Next week there will be several such meetings in different cities and even countries :) And different top managers will participate in them. Waiting for everybody!
