+==== 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 given the honour of showing him some of the unique features of the XO.
+
+The President expressed profound interest in the OLPC educational goals.

+
+[[AcpHallSmall.jpg | The ACP-EU conference hall]]
+
+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**".
