Issue #310 - Cats, code and Christmas trees

‘Tis the season to be somewhat apologetic about the lack of newsletters these last couple of weeks. Hopefully, this Raspberry Pi–packed mega mail will make up for it.

Wherever you are, and however you celebrate, have a wonderful festive break, and we’ll see you in January!

Peace,

The entire Raspberry Pi team
