Issue #235 - Rosie
Hey there!
Welcome to the last Raspberry Pi Weekly of 2017. And what a week it’s been! We’ve seen the release of not one, not two, but THREE new publications from the Raspberry Pi Press. So whether you want to catch up with Raspberry Pi community projects in The MagPi, delve into the world of making and hacking with HackSpace magazine, or give a great gift with the Raspberry Pi Annual 2018, there’s loads to get your teeth into this festive season. Grab a glass of mulled wine, warm up a mince pie or two, and jump right in.
We’re taking a break over Christmas and the New Year, and if it’s the holiday season for you too, we hope you have a wonderful time. We’ll see you in 2018.
Peace,
Alex
