Very great to hear this! Congratulations to a much deserved recognition.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jun 24, 2011 at 9:15 AM, Sridhar Dhanapalan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sridhar@laptop.org.au">sridhar@laptop.org.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Bronze Lion[2] at this year's Cannes Lions International Advertising<br>
Festival[3], the equivalent of the Cannes Film Festival for<br>
advertising.<br>
<br>
I think this is fantastic recognition for a Free Software project[4],<br>
especially one that is focused on assisting children in some of the<br>
most remote parts of the world. I feel honoured to have been part of<br>
this success.<br>
<br>
We’re happy for people to get involved to help us in our mission[5].<br>
If you'd like to participate[6], especially (for me) in the technical<br>
field[7], please get in touch with me or contact OLPC Australia[8]<br>
through our Web site.<br>
