Imagine a mobile computing device with which you could do whatever you wanted. Imagine that virtually every aspect of the phone was customisable to your every whim. Change the wallpapers.

This was a very successful event and we would like to take this chance to thank Team Ubuntu Singapore as well as NUS Students’ Computing Club for the wonderful and professional collaboration.
