But perhaps most importantly (in our somewhat biased opinion), we welcomed a single-board bundle of joy into our lives: <span style="color:#e30b5c;"><strong>Raspberry Pi</strong></span>.</span></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Five years later, the Raspberry Pi is still inspiring makers, educators, and engineers to learn, solve problems, and above all else, have fun with technology. And the <span style="color:#e30b5c;"><strong>#PiParty</strong></span> is just getting started! To celebrate the occasion, the Raspberry Pi Foundation is holding a very special <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="https://www.raspberrypi.org/events/big-birthday-weekend-2017/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Big Birthday Weekend</a> this March in Cambridge, UK. While some of you may be fortunate enough to join the festivities in person, we wanted to ensure that every member of the element14 community has a chance to send some birthday cheer with a very special <span style="color:#e30b5c;"><strong>#PiParty birthday card</strong></span>. And with your help, we want to make sure it’s a very, very, very big card.</span></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"><span><a href="https://community.element14.com/resized-image/__size/384x202/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-01-69/contentimage_5F00_78977.gif"><img loading="lazy" alt="image" src="https://community-storage.element14.com/communityserver-components-secureimagefileviewer/communityserver/wikis/components/files/00/00/00/01/69/contentimage_78977.gif?sv=2016-05-31&amp;sr=b&amp;sig=MRIkdBWSpv5d3x20M2vWNlPbALINNhi%2Fq8EEmUK6JU8%3D&amp;se=2026-08-18T23%3A59%3A59Z&amp;sp=r&amp;_=vOnT0BdHlVxhiQw8qOGHIw==" style="max-height: 202px;max-width: 384px;" /></a></span></p><h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="color:#e30b5c;font-size:18pt;">Comment below with your birthday wishes for the Raspberry Pi and the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
