Summary

A review of the latest release of the Raspberry Pi

Abstract

This event has been cross-posted as a Raspberry Jam Session! This will be the first ever “BLU Jam Session”. Here's an overview of what we plan to cover:

1. A board level review of the main RPi4 components
2. A side by side comparison with other RPi models
3. A review of power and performance on the RPi4
4. We will dig into the latest distribution of Raspbian
5. We'll take a rack of RPis on a software test drive
6. We'll poke around the GPIO and other “attachables”
7. Audience Participation - What have attendees done with their RPis? What's the newest RPi4 really good for? What's missing? What's it offer?
8. Q&A
