I am happy to announce
"Raspberry Pi Day" at Penguins Unbound Meeting
APRIL 27th 2013!
This will be a whole day (9:00am to 5:00pm) dedicated to working with
and learning about the Raspberry Pi !
This will be hands-on, so bring your Raspberry Pi and follow along with
your own Raspberry Pi!
Here is the agenda so far:
There will be an intro "class" in the morning (9:30 to 11:30). With
step-by-step to get you started. Followed by a Q & A time. So bring
your Raspberry Pi and learn the basics in the morning.
For Lunch, I will order pizza for all who would like to go in on
buying some pizza. You are also welcome to bring your own lunch or go
somewhere else.
In the afternoon I hope to have different session on Raspberry Pi
topics:
XBMC on the Raspberry Pi
Raspberry Pi Programming GPIO in C
and more hopefully...
That is the plan so far!
If you plan on going please sign up on the wiki.
*** If you or, if you know someone, that has worked with Raspberry Pi
and would be willing to present (or help) at the meeting please contact
Me (Brian Dolan-Goecke) from

I am hoping to fine someone with experience driving motors and see some
other interesting things that people have done with the Raspberry Pi.
Thanks I hope to see you there!
