[Olpc-uk] A potential partnership with Warwick UNICEF on Campus

[Dev Lakhani]

Hi Martin et al.

Thank you for your response, I started by getting some basic apps running on
my emulator. I appreciate the links and once I get more confidence with
developing apps I 'll get the ball rolling at my end.

Please could you keep me informed about the next meeting in London and I
will try and make it.

Thanks
Dev
