Raspberry Pi Workshop und Verlosung am Informationsstand

Mitarbeiter des LPI e.V. werden am LPI Infostand praktisch zeigen, wie man am Raspberry Pi Computer (http://www.raspberrypi.org) einfache Hardwareerweiterungen durchführen kann und wie man einen Raspberry Pi, auch kurz "RPI" genannt, mit Skripts steuern kann. Außerdem wird täglich eine thematisch passende Verlosung am LPI Infostand, Halle 7.1c, Stand 153, durchgeführt. Mit der Aktion "RPI Workshop powered by LPI" sollen alle Besucher des LinuxTags in Berlin angesprochen werden, die sich für den RPI und den Einstieg in das Thema Shellscripting interessieren. Damit bietet das LPI eine Aktivität im Bereich Schulung und Experimentieren an, für den der preisgünstige RPI, der standardmäßig unter Linux Betriebssystemen läuft, ursprünglich entworfen wurde. Der Workshop am LPI Infostand findet zu den folgenden Zeiten statt:

 

- Mittwoch, 22.05., von 16:30 bis 18:00 Uhr

- Donnerstag, 23.05., 14:30 bis 18:00 Uhr

- Freitag, 24.05., 16:30 bis 18:00 Uhr

- Samstag, 25.05., 14:30 bis 17:00 Uhr

 

Das LPI macht mit dieser Aktion unter Leitung des LPI e.V. (http://www.lpi-german.de) auch auf das 10-jährige Bestehen des Vereins und das langjährige Bestehen des LinuxTags aufmerksam. Die Gründungsversammlung des LPI e.V. fand beim LinuxTag im Jahr 2003 statt.
