from the RaspberryPi Foundation is touring popular hackspaces in the US
throughout September 2012 with the aim of giving talks and workshops
about the RaspberryPi to both hackspace members and also RaspberryPi
users in the local community.<br>
<br>
He'll be coming to visit Noisebridge on Saturday, 29-September-2012 at 11am - 5pm. The event is free, and open to all!<br>
<br>
The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a charitable organisation founded with
the aim of promoting the study of computer science and related topics,
especially at school level. The Foundation is responsible for the design
and sales of the popular RaspberryPi single-board computer. You can
find out more about the Foundation and the RaspberryPi at <a href="http://www.raspberrypi.org/" target="_blank"><font color="#0068cf">the Raspberry Pi website</font></a>.<br>
<br>
The tour will be blogged/vlogged on the RaspberryPi website and we hope
to attract RaspberryPi enthusiasts and hackers/makers from across the
areas we will be visiting, allowing us to meet and support our
community.<br>
<br>
The Noisebridge event will be very informal and will consist of the following; <br>
<br>
<strong><font style="font-size: 12pt;" size="3">Workshop / Tech Demos (11am-3pm)<br></font></strong> <br>
Rob will be giving a demonstration of the latest developments with the
Pi as well as bringing a number of Pi's for people to play with
hands-on.<br>
<br>
This will give people a great opportunity to get advice from the Foundation and get help kickstarting Pi-based projects.<br>
<br>
There will be a limited number of Raspberry Pi's for sale at
Noisebridge. But to ensure you're not disappointed by lack of
availability, you can buy a Raspberry Pi in advance -- Rob says that
there is now plenty of stock at <a href="http://www.mcmelectronics.com/content/en-US/raspberry-pi" target="_blank">MCM Electronics</a> (<a href="http://www.mcmelectronics.com/content/en-US/raspberry-pi" target="_blank">http://www.mcmelectronics.com/content/en-US/raspberry-pi</a>).<br>
<br>
<strong><font style="font-size: 12pt;" size="3">Talk (3pm)<br></font></strong> <br>
