You da man!

As for connections to the sky, I think that's only Mackenzie and Dan,
in all likelihood.  Though, since it's Software Freedom Day and not
Ubuntu or Linux Day, folks running CyanogenMod or similar on a 3G / 4G
/ ... / 999G tablet would be a tasty treat.  (I've got CyanogenMod on
my EVO, but no data plan.  So, it's a mini-WiFi-only device.)

I'll ask the organizers.  Not being a water drinker, I've never really
thought about it.
