[Server-devel] [OLPC-GSoC] Congratulations to the winners - and to the rest

[Shikhar]

I agree; even I'd like to do my project anyway (Email client). That 
there is support from OLPC is very encouraging.

I just have this pesky internship requirement from my university which 
has to be fulfilled this summer but hopefully OLPC would be good with 
considering me a 'remote intern'

Let's see :-)
