Issue #181 - Wheaton

Hello there!

This week has been full of news, events and interesting wonderment. From Eben receiving his CBE from HRH Prince Charles and a new security update for Raspbian to the second phase of Astro Pi and some famous guy getting Twitter in a tizzy.

We’ve also started to get a little festive, and will be sharing some Christmas fun with you all next week…alongside an exciting new something we’ll be announcing on Monday. Shhhh.

Remember, if you’re in the UK and aged between 12 and 15, you should register for Pioneers. And if you’re not but know someone who is, make sure to share this newsletter with them.

Have a great weekend, make some awesome things and use the hashtag #BerryXmas to share your Raspberry Pi Christmas builds.

Peace.

Alex
