Changes
Added people who have expressed interest in helping + some components
2 day event sometime in March/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.

== 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.
