Are you a Raspberry Pi Fan or Enthusiast?  Will you be in Chicago, Illinois (USA) or Leeds, England (UK) on Monday, February 29th?

 

If you answered "Yes" to both of these questions, we'd like to invite you to join the element14 team in celebrating Raspberry Pi's 4th birthday.

We'll even have some Raspberry Pi's to give away! Once the goodie bags and giveaways are gone, so are we, so try and get there at start time!

You can still join in on the fun from your computer, phone or tablet by following us on our social media channels! We'll be Tweeting and posting on Facebook all day, where we'll also be giving away Raspberry Pi's to those who share the best photos of themselves with their Raspberry Pi's and Raspberry Pi projects to help us celebrate!

    From what I understand, regardless of how many pictures/entries shared, only one will count per person.  Which makes sense!  Added benefit, since I now have a current picture with Element14 stuff, I now also have a Picture for my Profile!

    MCM might have had them because their server was getting buried most of the morning.  I had several associates that told me they had trouble accessing the site, or getting bumped off during the checkout. I guess that is one way to throttle the sales volume.

    I meant did anyone get one in Chicago? At the festivities. I know a few people were given them in Leeds.

     

    But I ordered at 4 am EST on Newark, all day it kept saying it would get them on the 4th. So I don't know.

    On MCM this morning, I saw 58 in stock. When I looked at element 14 a bit (30 minutes?), the stock was all gone by say 6:00 AM CDT.

    Anyone in the US get one? I've seen several from the UK, but none in the US as far as I can tell.

    Thanks Dudley, It was a pleasure to meet you all, I'm going to start over with the Codebug and make an account this time, to be honest I was that exited to play with it I didn't even notice you could create an account and save what you make. Hopefully it's just something I've done wrong and not found it yet.

    It was good to meet you image

     

    And if you have any issues with that codebug of yours, send me a message and I'll have one of our resident experts take a look.
