Giveaway to celebrate my Raspberry Pi Birthday

Or should that be Pirthday? Hmmm… Could be “a thing”… Maybe not…

Four years ago today, I received my first Raspberry Pi!

It’s been quite a journey since then. I started work on my first project in the first couple of months – the Picorder. Three years later, I was still working on it. My first exposure to the Raspberry Pi community was the Milton Keynes Raspberry Jam, run by all-round brilliant person Peter Onion. There, I met a lot of people who I’m still proud to call ‘friend’. The community has been, and continues to be, a lifeline for me. The folks at the Raspberry Pi Foundation, likewise, have been fantastic and I even worked there for a few days on the Jam section of their website. More friendships formed. Probably the biggest thing to happen to me is that I re-started the Cambridge Raspberry Jam and then later, with my friend Tim Richardson we expanded it to what it is today – an event regularly attracting around 200 people. Add to that our involvement with the Raspberry Pi Big Birthday Weekend and, of course, Pi Wars, it’s certainly kept me busy for four years!

To celebrate the occasion, I’m running a competition. The winner of the competition will receive a Raspberry Pi 3 plus a RasPiO Analog Zero board that allows you to read up to 8 analog inputs and gives you a small prototyping area. It’s a kit but it will be all soldered up for you (if you choose).

To enter the competition, visit this page and fill in the form. Entry closes on the 30th June sometime after noon. If you win, I’ll contact you after that date to arrange for delivery. If you’d like, you can have it delivered to someone other than yourself! I won’t use the captured data for anything else, so don’t worry about spammage. 🙂
