Issue #216 - Darth

Darth Beats front

Happy Friday!

This week saw the launch of our Approved Reseller programme, helping to bring Raspberry Pi to more people around the globe. We also announced six new resellers, including stores in India and Brazil!

Check out our wonderful mix of great community projects, articles and news, and make sure you submit your event to the Raspberry Pi Big Birthday Weekend!

Have a great week and we’ll see you next Friday!

Peace,

Alex
