For our 2012-06-19 meeting BALUG is proud to present:
Raspberry Pi[1], presented by Allan Cecil
A Raspberry Pi[1] is a low power $35 Linux PC the size of a deck of cards with powerful features including hardware-accelerated h.264 video playback at 1080p. In this talk, Allan will present an overview of the educational mission of the Raspberry Pi Foundation[2], available hardware variants and accessories, precompiled Linux distributions, and a live demo including a demonstration of XBMC playing back HD video.
Allan Cecil is the Vice President of the North Bay Linux Users Group[3] and a Test Engineer for Cyan, Inc.[4] in Petaluma[5].
