[OLPC-GSoC] Congratulations to the winners - and to the rest (Rahul Bagaria)

[Arjun Sarwal]

There are a few  laptops around -- Hemant and Assiem have been borrowing
mine off and on. Hemant has one now, I have one, Manu has....we can
time-multiplex their use :-)

And of course, you should in parallel apply to the developers program too!

best
Arjun
