[mdlug] Raspbery PI day 3/14/15 - Show and tell

[Brian Brodsky]

Gib,

That would be great for our group, but I think most of the people the 
library wants to promote to might be scared off by "show and tell" they 
might be thinking they have to "show". What you have is great but maybe 
emphasize heard about the Raspberry Pi? Not sure what it is. Come to our 
show and tell to see what all the hype is about.

By the way sorry but I will not be able to make this month's meeting.

Brian
