As I’m sure you all know, we at Maker Faire UK are big fans of the Raspberry Pi, having published an article a while back on some of our favourite Pi projects. Not only that, but we’ve also confirmed that RP’s own Rob Bishop will be giving a talk at this year’s Maker Faire UK! So, without further ado, we just had to tell you about Raspberry Jamboree – a very special event being held by the RP folks.
Alan O’Donohoe is the organiser of the first ever Raspberry Jamboree, taking place in Manchester this weekend.
The event has completely sold out, but the organisers are streaming a live webcast of the proceedings for a nominal charge of £2 plus eventbrite fees of 70p. Alan explained the reason for the charge to the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
Frankly, we’ve had a peek and the programme looks absolutely fantastic. Confirmed speakers include the following:
Prof Steve Furber (Designer of BBC Micro), Pete Lomas (RPi Co-Founder), Rob Bishop (RPi Evangelist), Genevieve Smith-Nunes (Teacher), Alan O’Donohoe (Teacher & Jambassador), Dr Andrew Robinson (Pi Face), CarrieAnne Philbin (Teacher & Geek Gurl Diaries), Paul Hallett (Django Pi), Mike Cook (Raspberry Punnet), William H. Bell (CERN&MagPi Magazine).
