A new trustee
We’d like to warmly welcome Louis Glass to the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s board of trustees.
For some time, our good friends at tech law firm Olswang have contributed to lots of legal aspects of our work. Like us, a number of their people grew up fiddling with BBC Micros and they’re very keen to help us deliver a similar experience for today’s kids (including their own!). As the Foundation’s activities are developing fast, we’re delighted that Louis Glass, one of Olswang’s partners, has agreed to join the Foundation as a trustee. We look forward to continuing our work with Louis and the Olswang team.
Louis Glass
Apparently, Thomson Reuters lists Louis as one of its Super Lawyers for 2013. We do not know if this honour includes a mask, tights and a cape, but if it does, we will be insisting that he wears them to board meetings.

“Love” is putting it strongly, Scone.

He also had to take an additional mortgage on his house(s) like the other trustees? Lawyers have often big houses, so the foundation has now room to expand?

Ha! No. We make enough money from the sale of Pis to fund the charity; everybody who loaned money to get us started got their investment back very quickly.

ah but did they get their new kitchens?

Typo. It should be “Thomson Reuters”.

*Winces* – thanks for the spot. I always make that mistake when I’m not thinking hard with people and institutions called Thomson: my Grandma’s surname (second husband) was Thompson, their shop was called Thompsons and my fingers type it automagically.

Thomson & Thompson? I miss Tintin … ;)

Maybe those are the legal beagle version of Google Glass or, in this case, Gurgle Glass – the sound courtroom opponents make when The Force is being applied by a Darth Lawyer character :D
