</span>That announcement blurb looks great, Michael.<br>
<br>
I have not got a formal presentation together, but I'll try to spend<br>
some time preparing for the event.<br>
<br>
Ideas include:<br>
* NOOBS and a list of OSes you can run? OpenELEC?<br>
<br>
* Ubuntu <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi</a><br>
* Takes a while, no ubuntu-desktop in the small initial download images<br>
* Snappy Ubuntu Core official pre-release<br>
* had a try, James?<br>
* Unofficial 14.04 - I had a try and installed xubuntu-desktop<br>
<br>
* Old Debian armel? vs Raspbian vs Debian armhf;<br>
* <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi2" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi2</a><br>
* <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi</a><br>
<br>
* booting off OpenWRT?<br>
* Tiny but useful armel distribution, should let people get useful<br>
things happening fast, on even the model A with a 128MB SD/MMC card.<br>
USB Webcam with Motion? <a href="http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/webcam" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/webcam</a><br>
<br>
* getting started with IO devices: sensors, lights, relays?<br>
<br>
* FM transmitters<br>
* <a href="http://www.icrobotics.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Turning_the_Raspberry_Pi_Into_an_FM_Transmitter" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.icrobotics.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Turning_the_Raspberry_Pi_Into_an_FM_Transmitter</a><br>

Some hardware preparation would help, so people can get hands-on without<br>
bringing their own PSU, monitor, keyboard, etc. I was going to try to<br>
encourage this organicly on the mailing list, but some of it should be<br>
confirmed centrally.<br>
<br>
Question: Can we find, say, 4-way power supply (well yes), a USB<br>
keyboard/mouse, 4-way HDMI switch and a big monitor/TV - the projector??<br>
<br>
"Just bring your Pi and a SD/MicroSD card and join the workshop."<br>
<br>
The organic part - "bring out your old SD cards, even the tiny ones". We<br>
could also sell a few preloaded SD/SDHC/SDXC/microSD/... cards - cost<br>
price is $7.97 each. I think this has a microSD to SD adaptor, it was<br>
briefly available for $5, they can be $4-$5 online:<br>

How about ending with:<br>
A Raspberry Pi is not required to attend but if you have one you are<br>
encouraged to bring it along. If you have a small SD or microSD card to<br>
spare or to share, anything from 128MB and up will be useful, bring them too.<br>
