A nice article at Linux.com that talks about how the Pi has become one of the innovations of the year. One of the comments below the article tries, once again, to lynch the Pi just because it’s not a totally open source product. I’ve posted my own comment to refute that as the article is about the Pi being a catalyst for innovation using Linux and open source software, not hyping the Pi as open source hardware platform.

The first free Hackday based on the Raspberry Pi has taken place in Leeds, hosted by CPC electronics.
Taking Place in the heart of Leeds on December 1st and running through the night for 24 hours was the first free Raspberry Pi Hackday. A Hackday/Hackathon is an event, where team of coders, hobbiests, engineers and enthusiasts get together and are given 24 hours to create something cool in software, hardware, design or implementation. This particular Hackday was special, as it was the first around projects involving the Raspberry Pi.
