2 day event at FIXME, focused on exploring and playing with the Raspberry Pi. The idea is to organise a big RPi event with lots of talks, workshops, and projects for everyone, especially the public.
The events will be held in two places, the goal is to hold two talks/workshops at the same time. It still needs to be decided where these two places will be. Carmelo has given approval to accommodate 50-100 people.

Participants
Rough interest expressed for participation during weekend:
- Francois - playing with the RPi camera, possibly streaming if he can figure it out
- Martin - introduction to gstreamer on RPi
- Simon & Laura (fragment.in) - something with occulus rift? their friend made a turtle tweeting pi
- Max - xbmc media center set up, maybe something else
- Oscar - bring 10~20 old laptops for event that were previously used at his office
- Pierre - creating your own NXT coin/FixmeCoin
- Sasha - filling in parts that no one else is willing to do
Components
- Screens
- 2.8" Touchscreen module for RPi (17.40 $) - same as Adafruit one
- 7" Screen for RPi (21.60 $)
- 3.6" Screen for RPi (7.65 $)
- DB18B20 sensors
- Plexiglass for laser cut cases
- SD cards
- RPi cameras
- WiFi USB adapters
- LED strips
- BUZ11 for LEDs and other peripherals
- Breadboards
- Jumper cables
Organisation
Need to organise talks, components, sponsoring, food, and other important things.
Schedule
Talks will be held in two tracks, with one track being held in the univercité meeting space, and another one being held in fixme (? - this still needs to be defined). There will also be a supervised hacking area in the workshop, where people can use soldering irons, play with breadboards and jumper cables, or hack away at something. The lounge area outside of fixme will serve as a buffer zone with food and drinks, potentially some things on sale (needs to be clarified).
Some people have already volunteered to give talks (see #Participants), please do not hesitate to add yourself to the list. Talks should be up to 30-60 minutes long, or up to 120 minutes long if it's a workshop. Taking into account a ~10 minute break between talks + 1h lunch break, there should be 15~25 talks and workshops throughout the weekend. From saturday evening through to whenever the last person leaves, there will be a RPi hackathon.
Sponsoring
Find sponsoring for food and drinks. Look to see if there are any entities willing to lend keyboards + mice + displays for just the event. Possibly also find sponsoring so that we can offer various Raspberry Pi things to people who are interested.
- Orange - sent on 11/04, waiting for response - although they normally sponsor only music and cinema events
- SIL - to send on 11/04
Components
Create a budget for purchasing components (see #Components), which will include 20-50 Raspberry Pi's (<2000 chf with shipping + taxes), various modules/sensors/etc for the Pi's, and a selection of jumper cables, breadboards, and other miscellaneous useful accessories. We will also need to find a bunch of displays (and dvi-hdmi adapters, possibly vga-hdmi too), mice, keyboards, network cables, and other things needed during setup.
Marketing
Print flyers at ECAL/IRL/Ville de lausanne. Get a giant roll up poster that could eventually be re-used for other fixme events - this costs ~40€.
Schedule
- Soon - we need to find an appropriate date
Resources
It would be nice to have some more RPi's that we can give to the public with a caution, as well as a wide selection of RPi sensors. We will also need to make sure to place this event in all of the calendars that univercite and hackuarium use to avoid confusion.
