[mdlug] Raspberry Pi setup and test before Conclave 40

[Dr. Robert Meier]

Michael,

> I should be there and will help however I can.

Thank you.

Before the con, could you assemble, load, and test
   several raspberry pi with linux, mice, keyboards, and screens?
The largest effort of this task is logistics, identifying,
   borrowing (or buying) needed support hardware (power strips,
   dongles, usb converters, ...),
   keeping track of assets, and returning borrowed items to their
   owners after the con.
Most of the setup will involve "watching paint dry" during
   bootstrap and configuration.
Contact Gib and/or myself for raspberry hardware,
   flash media, and image.
The goal is to have ~6 raspberry pi stations, setup and tested,
   throughout the con weekend.  Additionally, we'd like to be able
   to sell some or all of the raspberry pi and media at 200% of cost
   (i.e. underwriters get their funding back, remaining (half?) goes
    to mdlug)
Could you manage packaging and marking raspberry pi and media
  sales during the con (and delivery after the con)?



All,

Screens are our current bottleneck.
Does anyone have a spare flat screen, keyboard, and/or mouse, especially
   wired (or with bluetooth dongle).

Once assembled and tested, does anyone have time (~8h) to load,
   configure and test applications on the Raspberry stations?
