Issue #213 - Outdoors

Hello there,

This week’s Raspberry Pi Weekly is jam-packed! I almost couldn’t fit it all in! From the announcement of the Pioneers winners to jars of hearts and – wait, did someone say there’s a new doctor?

In case you happen to visit the Raspberry Pi forums on Tuesday 25th of July, be warned that the site will be in read-only mode for 24 hours while we polish its buttons, upgrade its threads, and give the whole place a fresh lick of paint.

Have a great week, and I’ll check in with you next Friday.

Peace,

Alex
