[OLPC-Games] vision processing / juggling

[Tim Wintle]

I wasn't aware there was any way to get an olpc in Europe currently
(unless you have friends in the US that are willing to get you one) -
what is the best way to get your hands on one in the UK (I'm willing to
make a donation, but G1G1 wasn't available here last time) - I need the
actual hardware to profile my application on.
