Opera started in 1994 as a research project inside Norway’s largest telecom company, Telenor. Within a year, it branched out into an independent development company named Opera Software ASA. Today, Opera Software develops the Opera Web browser, a high-quality, multi-platform product for a wide range of platforms, operating systems and embedded Internet products – including Mac, PC and Linux computers, mobile phones and PDAs, game consoles, and other devices like the Nintendo Wii, DS, Sony Mylo, and more.

The My Opera Community has opened an area in which users can maintain a blog (among other services). Opera encourages employees to participate in this same community - whether you are obsessively writing about the browser, or about nothing but your favorite Norwegian (or sub-Saharan) wildflowers.

Sometimes Opera employees may want to write about something but worry that it is not for disclosure. This may lead to a missed opportunity to talk about something that is, in fact, public. They also may not realize that something is strategically sensitive and should not be written about. To shed some light on these issues, Opera employees may refer to these following guidelines.

Given the international focus on green technology and environmentally friendly initiatives, it's no surprise that the technology community has turned its attention in that direction.
