Amazing 'Opera Week' in India

October 26, 2009 · by Zara

Opera Software would like to send a huge thank you to the members of the Opera Campus Crew at Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad. In early October the team there - Varun, Yogesh and Tarun - ran an 'Opera Week' to coincide with their college’s technical festival, Effervescence MM’09. Their efforts were amazing and their activities hugely successful.

Organised three presentations about Opera, which were attended by 1039 students in total.
Hosted a daily information stand or ‘Demo Day’ with just under 3500 visitors by the end of week! The stand was so successful that on the final day of the festival they set up three different stands in different areas.
Held a quiz about Opera and the Web for 10 teams.
Interviewed 90 students about their usage of Opera and other browsers.
Installed Opera 10 on 240 computers across four computer labs.
Installed Opera on 375 computers and mobile phones of visitors to their events!

Check out their full report and pictures. What an outstanding contribution, and what an inspiration to other Campus Crew members and Opera fans in the community. Well done!
