#889 — What you can do with a Raspberry Pi

Title: What can you do with a Raspberry Pi?

Last month we released an animation called What is a Raspberry Pi?[1] which
explains why the Pi exists, what it’s all about and touches on some
application we’ve seen – and we recently discovered a video which points out
some great ideas for what you can do with yours!

Everyone takes different kinds of inspiration before they start a Pi project
– whether it’s following a guide in a book or online, seeing somebody else
make something at a Jam or maker faire, or solving a real life problem and
getting straight to it. Plenty of people like the idea of the Pi before they
have a use for it – sometimes it’s nice just to be presented with some
example applications and let one pique your interest. We hope that’s what
this great video will do for some of you.

We’d love to hear about your sources of inspiration – as usual – in the
comments below.

Our education team (Clive, Carrie Anne, Dave and I) will be at the Jamboree
in Manchester this week. There’s an excellent line-up including talks,
workshops, panels, ask an expert – and more! The conference part, focusing on
Pi in education, on Thursday and Friday, will be held at the Manchester
Central Conference Centre, followed by a Jam Hack Day[2] at Edge Hill in
Ormskirk. There are still tickets available[3], including evening sessions
for those unavailable during the day – and the party on Friday night –
organised by the wonderful Lisa Mather[4], where there are to be special
badges (below) and plenty of swag up for grabs. The conference takes place
adjacent to the Education Innovation Conference & Exhibition[5]. We hope to
see plenty of you at the event!

Just an FYI for any who don't know. There is a Usenet group:

  comp.sys.raspberry-pi

On comp.sys.apple2 they are discussing the apple2pi which interfaces a
Raspberry Pi with your Apple II family computer, allowing you to copy
files, run virtual disk images, and more.

But not a lot of traffic, and what's there is often really unrelated to 
the board.

As was discussed before it was created, there are endless places on the 
web to discuss it, so a lot of the information is elsewhere.
