Hi,
Is anyone in the Milton Keynes area interested in having a Jam session at the computer museum at Bletchley Park - The spiritual birthplace of the computer?
I'm pretty new to Linux, Pi, Arduino & Programming in general but if there is a group of like minded people nearby that are interested in meeting up, I don't mind pitching in and getting in touch with Bletchley....

I'd be interested. I wonder if they've got anything with an HDMI socket?

Probably not but they do have an Amiga CDTV

OK, I have been in touch with Bletchley and can confirm that work is already underway for a Jam at the computer museum. More details to follow.

That sounds fun!
I work at the Open University just up the road from Bletchley, and am organising something to tell colleagues there about the Raspberry and what it could do for our students. Linking this with a jam would be good...

(If I had Large Sums of Money...I'd love to go to a Jam at Bletchley Park...if only to take a picture of a Pi next to a working Bombe...)

You can see a lot of our Bristol Jam here -

but this was a big Jam, we also have much smaller ones too.
