As you know, Raspberry Pi celebrates its first anniversary. In honor of this, RS Components releases a limited batch of 1000 blue Raspberry Pi, complete with which also comes a certificate signed by Eben Upton (the creator of RPi) and a pretty blue case. The party will not go on sale, but there is a chance to get a blue raspberry for free by winning it in the competition.

To participate in the contest, you need to send a tweet with the hashtag "#bluepi", addressing it to
@RSElectronics , and writing in it, THAT remarkable can be done from this blue card. Each week, judges from the Raspberry Pi Foundation and RS Electronics will select ten people with the best ideas - and these ten people will receive a blue raspberry kit for free.
All this will happen
4 weeks in a row , the first lucky ones will be known already this weekend; Then they promise some other events and practical jokes. If you do a search on the #bluepi tag, then you can see that 90% write something about the NAS and the media player, so there is a chance to win.

PS By the way, I noticed that many call Malinka wrong; the correct pronunciation is “Resby
Pie ”. Firstly, this is how -
[pai] - read in English 3.14159 (in general,
everything is not easy with Greek letters); secondly, if you say
“pi” , then the wordplay with
“pie” does not work. Enjoy your meal!
upd: in April, the Raspberry Pi Foundation begins selling cameras for the raspberry; The expected price of $ 25, based on the
OV5647 , is included in the CSI connector, the resolution is 5mpx 2592x1944, video 1080p30, 720p60 ...
and so on . The camera module went into production and the developers want to donate 10 cameras to people with the best ideas for using them.
You can read in detail in the RPi blog , but if it’s brief, you
’ll need to write a detailed letter (in English) to
iwantacamera@raspberrypi.org before March 12 describing how you want to use the camera; A link to any previous projects and any code on github will be a big plus.
