  • Hello, I am from Ukraine and I am a regular student. I am 14 years old and I can't afford a home server. My dream is to make own online game, but first I would like to start by owning a game server of another, made already online game. Okil2009@gmail.com. Thank you.

  • I will try to recreate the samsung's smart tv but for a better price! Right now a full functions smart tv here in bulgaria cost about 4000BGN ~ 2760USD. If the project is successfull you could by a TV that costs about 500BGN and add this smart module and round at about 600BGN + packaging and post. And voila. a cheap tv with internet access and you can use a normal usb keyboard and mouse. Nice, a?

  • I would like to test this computer for education of my kids image

  • i want to use mine as a mobile computer so i can program more on the road.

  • I would love to teach my family and friends about coding, plus this would be a fantastic mini media server! image

  • I really want to demonstrate school chaps (both primary and secondary) in my country what a raspberry pi is and what are its benefits. It will certainlty encourage kids to start programming at an early age. Beside my country's IT sector is growing fast and requires more and more programmers. I'm hoping for raspberry pi to change the perception on IT here in Mauritius! image

     

    As a personal endeavour  I will review it and blog about it so as to inform as many people as I can of the existance of such formidable tool!

  • Lots of people intending to use their RPi as a cheap, low power (therefor "green"?) media centre and indeed that's not a bad idea. I was going to suggest that anyone who puts together a streamlined, media-centric build should consider uploading an image to make it easy for end users to simply image an SDHC card, but perhaps I could suggest, given the enthusiasm for an RPi media centre, that perhaps we could have a competition to see who can come up with the best build? Perhaps judged by the community?

  • I am hoping to use a Raspberry Pi as the brains behind my automated model railway layout.  Responding to a range of sensors the Pi will operate a shunting layout with complete hands-off operation.  Orinally the plan was use a PC, but the use of a Pi would make the whole thing much more compact and portable.

     

    I thinks it's about time that more real-life things were brought into the study of computer science, instaed of just images on a screen!

  • I'm looking to get it for three reasons. It's a cool product to have to hand. I miss my homecomputer simplisity from the 80's. And lastly I'm looking to use them to teach computer programming at my school.

  • I am planning to make a home automation system with Raspberry Pi. It will be great to play with it.
