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.

2 day event sometime in April 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
  • 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
  • Rorist - something
  • Pierre - creating your own NXT coin/FixmeCoin
  • Sasha - filling in parts that no one else is willing to do

Components

Schedule

  • Early march: set a date and discuss possibilities
  • Mid march: start developing workshops and finding motivated people
  • Mid march: start advertising the event massively
  • April 18/19: event (likely 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.
