Hi All, The response has been amazing. In just 1 day we have 13 explorers and 9 guides signed up. We are going to cap the number of explorers at 20 (and also guides at 20) so please get in there and sign up fast.
The sign up form again is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dGxuemhLWkFNd2lUX2phcEdfQjM2aHc6MQ#gid=0 Please note: you HAVE TO HAVE a laptop on which you want to install linux (or already have installed linux... or a linux simulator) to be an explorer. We will try to provide a couple of laptops for you to work on if you don;t have a laptop... but this is NOT guaranteed. So if you don't have a laptop and need one please email me individually by the end of this week, so that I can wrangle up one for you. -Sakarr On Mon, Oct 29, 2012 at 9:39 PM, Sakar <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi All, > > While we are waiting for our shiny new Raspberry Pi's to arrive we are > trying to rev up our Linux skill... so that we can actually do cool stuff > with the PI's when we they get here.
