Hi

http://conferences.theiet.org/yp-event/

Some info about a Raspberry Pi event which is in London on the 18th 
October . Might be of some interest to someone here.
 
" In a world full of expensive, "closed" consumer devices emerges the 
Raspberry Pi, a low-cost credit-card sized computer that can be 
plugged into a TV and a keyboard.  The hope is to see it being used by 
kids all over the world to learn programming, but it also serves as an 
ideal platform for hobbyists to try out new ideas.  Eben Upton, 
Founder of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, will talk about the transition 
from large, high performance systems to cheap, low power and 
potentially disposable hardware.  But what does the future hold for 
these innovative and disruptive products? Will threats to openness 
result in complete closure of future hardware platforms?  "
