so i just ordered 4 of them... but they are are back-ordered as much as 3 months. this is good news because it gives us time to plan our strategy. i say everyone interested get together in person and plot how we want to proceed. a couple of my thoughts: - someone want to take the lead on compiling a nice little briefing on the raspberry pi, how it works etc and become technical group leader? i would love to be brought up to speed on it, also as more people join the project it will be nice to have a set orientation to give them - space to construct and keep the machine. plus reliable power at the space.
