+==== OLPC demoed to the EU president Danilo Türk ====
+
+Today we have been received by the President of Slovenia [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danilo_T%C3%BCrk | Danilo Türk]],
+and President in charge of the European Union.  I was told to show him some of the unique features of the XO.  Somehow,
+I contained my emotion and managed to do a decent presentation.
+
+Before leaving us, the President expressed profound interest in the OLPC educational goals.
+This means our project is likely to receive support within the European Parliament.

+The newly born OLPC Europe team attended the [[http://www.europarl.europa.eu/intcoop/acp/ | ACP-EU]]
+conference in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ljubljana | Ljubljana, Slovenia]].
+
+Representatives of [[http://www.olpc.at/ | OLPC Austria]] rushed here on very short notice to
+help with the OLPC booth.  We demoed the laptop to 79 delegations of the African countries,
+members of the EU parliament and dignitaries of the United Nations
 Development Programme.  Not surprisingly, the laptop was called
 "**the killer event at the ACP-EU meeting**".
