+==== 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 we will likely be proposed for adoption to the European Parliament.
