Its subplot is pretty much like that of LCA2011, "against all odds".
:) Thank you kaio for doing this on such a short notice.

I just met dgilmore and jsmith earlier today and I'm now in possession
of lots of pressed LiveCDs, pens, case badges, temporary tattoos,
stickers and balloons for both the Open Day and FAD. Add to that the
three XO-1.5s we got from OLPC and the pressed media hpillay sent in
from Singapore, we have enough stuff to last us over the weekend.

Cheers!
