As I have blogged about[0] OLPC Australia[1] have been awarded a Bronze Lion[2] at this year's Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival[3], the equivalent of the Cannes Film Festival for advertising.
I think this is fantastic recognition for a Free Software project[4], especially one that is focused on assisting children in some of the most remote parts of the world. I feel honoured to have been part of this success. We’re happy for people to get involved to help us in our mission[5]. If you'd like to participate[6], especially (for me) in the technical field[7], please get in touch with me or contact OLPC Australia[8] through our Web site.
