I was fortunate to be invited to an RS Components press conference this morning to celebrate the Raspberry Pi’s 4th/1st birthday and the launch of the Raspberry Pi 3. I joined fellow enthusiasts and bloggers, including Alex Eames and Matthew Timmons-Brown, to hear Eben Upton, Lindsley Ruth and Dr Lucy Rogers talk about the Raspberry Pi, how it was launched 4 years ago to change computing and has gone on to be embraced by enthusiasts, education and families. Here’s my collection of projects which I showed off to the assembled press.

Here’s a great Pi 3 unboxing video from RS hosted by Pete Wood, who I met this morning:

And here’s the recorded Periscope stream from the press conference (Just watched it… oh, there I am at around 21:15… Man I need to lose weight :-/)

I’d also like to point you at RS Components’ Raspberry Pi page.

Since its launch, the Raspberry Pi 3 has been covered by numerous news organisations including the BBC. Take a look at their news report here.

Apart from being covered by RasPi.TV and the Raspberry Pi Guy, we have also seen a blog post from Average Man (who does a really nice review of the board) and now the Pi Podcast boys have published their podcast interview with Eben.

All in all, a very exciting day!
