UoG Raspi - _zANDER

600 raspberry pis, 600 power supplies are shipped. 451 HDMI cables are shipped. 600 SD cards are still en route. We will still need to farm out SD card imaging. We should get bags or some kind of other packaging. Mark will request help kitting soon. Anybody with any suggestions or packaging ideas should harass him.

wishlist management and voting - simon_clark

The raspberry pi thing should get us some large chunk of change. We need to know what we're missing in the shop. Simon has put a spreadsheet together to track what we don't have, but do want. Simon will send it out to the members list.

We have now have a scratch plugin that will allow kids to utilize the codeshield through scratch. Tony has volunteered as the victim to play with this.

codeshield assembly - simon_clark

We're getting more and more requests now that the indiegogo campaign has died. If anyone wants to make a few bucks soldering and testing, contact Simon. We only have about 40 codeshield kits left, so we should have a codeshield kitting party soon.
