Start: Jun 20 2015 12:30 End: Jun 20 2015 16:30 Location: RMIT Building 91, 110 Victoria Street, Carlton South Link: http://luv.asn.au/meetings/map Wen Lin will introduce the wonder of Raspberry Pi - a project that has taken the world by storm since the first RasPi SBC was introduced in Feb 2012. After some intro, he will take the audience through a brief overview of Raspberry Pi's latest development around the world as well as a quick glance of a sample of Raspberry Pi related projects in the Community. Then, in the second half of his session, Wen will go into some hands-on demos, focussing on getting a Raspberry Pi up and running as a micro computer running Linux. Wen is not really an expert in the field of Raspberry Pi, so please look at this session as one novice sharing his new found experience with other novices. Wen is currently the Treasurer of LUV. He has been in IT Profession for about 25 years, primarily in the system admin area - both Windows and Linux. He started to be active in the Free & Open Source Community since 2004, inspired by the first Software Freedom Day in Melbourne. Nowadays at work Wen is using RHEL. In his own time, his distros of choice are Ubuntu/Xubuntu, followed by Fedora & CentOS. For non-OS software, LibreOffice is one that he has spent a fair bit of time with. Recently he has also been fascinated with the wonder of Raspberry Pi. Wen has a particular interest in introducing friends to using Linux and FOSS, quite often breathing new life into old Windows PCs after converting them to Linux. There will also be the usual casual hands-on workshop, Linux installation, configuration and assistance and advice. Bring your laptop if you need help with a particular issue. LUV would like to acknowledge Red Hat for their help in obtaining the Trinity College venue and VPAC for hosting.
