Have I lost the plot on all of what Rasp pi is supposed to be about?

e14 Contributor

Am I having a nightmare?

 

Why is anyone going on about compliance - please grow up guys - work it out yourselves - if you can't then either don't buy or revisit your own knowledge or how you use things for teaching or whatever!

 

If you still can't manage that then you haven't got it at all.

 

I am worried that a seriously good move is going to be hijacked by this sort of rubbish.

  • I am glad you said something. I have been itching to, so far most of the conversations regarding Raspberry Pi involves requests for hardware upgrades, more access to I/O, EMC problems, HDMI compliance, etc etc.,

     

    I thought Raspberry Pi was meant to encourage children to start programming, to take a more active role in the future of technology, or to at least understand it and be able to reslove issues for themselves.

     

    Perhaps people should concentrate on the original mission, now that the original hype is dying down. We dont want to see this product hijacked and turned into something that it is not.

     

    I have decided to donate my Raspberry Pi to a local Junior school, and to donate some time to help them form a Raspberry Pi club. Perhaps others could do the same?
