Recently The Raspberry Pi foundation celebrated the manufacturing and sales of the one millionth Raspberry Pi. Here is a short article and video from CBBC newsround about the Raspberry Pi and people’s thoughts on it.

Today I was asked about speeding up a Windows computer as it was being used as a backup PC, due to the user’s Mac undergoing repair.
I asked what operating system the PC was using so I could find appropriate tools to help speed it up. I was told that it was running Windows 7 and that it rarely gets used. I decided to suggest Zorin OS due to the look and feel of it.
The user does have a printer which is not supported with Linux but I suggested an alternative method of printing from it by using the Mac.
The user ended up going with Linux Mint and has chosen to erase Windows from the PC and replace it with Mint!
Overall I believe this was the best option as from being told it was rarely used I think Mint can breathe a new lease of life into this PC and be ideal for those basic tasks,

Today was the Exeter Raspberry Jam at Exeter Central Library and lots of people attended the event! There is a possibility that this may become a monthly event but we are not entirely sure as of yet.
Below are some photos from the Event:
Tom’s Robot powered by a Pi that tracks a green ball!
Somebody even brought along a Lego NXT Robot that is powered by a mobile phone and a Pi!
There was lots of Minecraft at the Raspberry Jam as well!
Gordon brought along some of his Pi kit as well!
Paul demoed the Pi Missile kit!
Overall this was a great event! You can find the photos on the Exeter LUG Twitter page @ExeterLUG
Just a quick reminder that there is a Raspberry Jam in Exeter this Saturday (22nd June) at Exeter Central Library from 10AM – 12PM in the Hoskins Room.
