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].

Well, don't worry we won't turn you away, but the RSVPs really help

upstairs in the private banquet room.
