You may remember the announcement of our new open source documentation , which is a GitHub project containing information about the Raspberry Pi hardware and software – and how to use it.

Call for guest posts! I’m going to be away for ten days, and Ben and Helen will be babysitting this blog. They’re looking for guest posts from you – do you have a Pi project you think we might be interested in? Email info@raspberrypi.org with your submission, and if the team likes it, they might feature it here.

Raspberry Pi software updates – what's new ZDNet This is the wonderful and amazing automatic self-installing bundle of operating systems that is provided by the Raspberry Pi developers. My first post about the Raspberry Pi and Raspbian discussed NOBS in some detail, and described installing and using it

How to: Create a Raspberry Pi weather station: Part 1 PC Authority Finally, we're going to look at how to use a Raspberry Pi without a keyboard, monitor or mouse, so that you can use your Pi in a wide range of small-scale projects. This project assumes a certain degree of familiarity with Raspbian and the principles …

At the end of February, Broadcom announced the release of full documentation for the VideoCore IV graphics core, and a complete source release of the graphics stack for the BCM21553 cellphone chip. To celebrate, we offered a $10k prize to the first person to port this codebase to the BCM2835 application processor that sits at the heart of the Raspberry Pi, and to get Quake 3 (which already runs on the Pi) running on the newly open ARM driver, rather on the closed-source VPU driver. Our hope was that the ported driver would be a helpful reference for anyone working on a Mesa / Gallium3D driver for VideoCore IV

Geek Tesseract projector made out of Raspberry Pi and Arduino Geek Using a Raspberry Pi with a copy of Raspbian OS on board isn't a new trick, and neither is installing XBMC inside of that so you have a little media center rig. There are all sorts of clever tutorials out there for making them run well on tiny screens ..

Last week we discovered an outstanding open source project which worked out of the box on the Raspberry Pi. 8086tiny is a free PC XT-compatible virtual machine/emulator written in C. DeluxePaint II in two whole colours. (“Graphics card?! You were lucky…” etc.) It was created by Adrian Cable who won IOCCC last year with 4043. We caught up with Adrian last week and this is what he had to say: “The personal computer as we know it today began in the early 80s with the release of the IBM PC – an incredibly complex machine for its time, and the result of hundreds of thousands of man-hours of development time, at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars
