Issue #198 - Macintosh
Hi everyone,
This week Alex (of House J’rassic) has scampered off to Amsterdam for VidCon and left me with half a newsletter to finish. Can you believe the cheek? Anyway, it’s good to be back. Did you miss me?
I’m all about the Jam these days. I’m running one tomorrow at Pi Towers: do come along if you’re in the area. If not, keep an eye out for something near you (or get in touch if you want to start one). I just put out a sneak preview of some of the new Jam branding we’ve been working on, which we’ll be making available to Jam organisers to use real soon.
Les Pounder and Claire Dodd Wicher are organising Raspberry Jamboree 2017 on 27 May. It’s a Pi-themed unconference in Manchester with two tracks of talks and a track of workshops. Get your tickets now!
If you like Raspberry Pi Weekly, you’ll love our magazine The MagPi. It’s full of great content every month, and it’s free to download! You can also buy a print subscription: all proceeds go to help the Raspberry Pi Foundation achieve its charitable goals. Help us democratise computing!
Until next time…
Ben
