> > * [150] Raspberry Pi (B) units
> > * [20] Arduino Uno R3 (assembled) units + choice of shield (8 different
> shields to choose from)

> A most worthy and excellent opportunity for people to participate.  Thank

> Spot - ~tom, concur on cool hardware.  ;)

> Sending positive Fedora 16 & 17 to your computers now.  :v)

> Please have a Great Fedora day and/or evening! :~)
