Welcome to Raspberry Pi Geek – the first and only print magazine dedicated to the amazing Raspberry Pi mini-PC and the open hardware revolution. We ring in the new and old in this issue. (Actually, nothing is really very old with the Raspberry Pi, but we follow up on some previous themes, including a report on how it went for the wind-turbine-powered Raspberry Pi we described last time.)

Editing a magazine on Raspberry Pi is always exhilarating because the world of the Raspberry Pi is evolving at such a rapid rate. One exciting recent development for the Raspberry Pi was the announcement from Wolfram computing of a special Pi-based version of the powerful Wolfram Mathematica computational software. Mathematica is easy and intuitive enough for beginners, yet sophisticated enough to be a favorite tool for mathematicians and scientists around the world. In this issue, we delve into Mathematica on the Pi. Another exciting Pi announcement is the arrival of the Raspberry Pi Compute Module – a specialized version of the Raspberry Pi designed for circuit board designers and embedded systems professionals. We talk to Raspberry Pi hardware director James Adams about the appearance of the Compute Module and what it means for the Raspberry Pi community.
Elsewhere inside, we continue our tradition of great, hands-on projects that put the Pi to work in practical, real-world solutions. You'll learn about Raspberry Pi as a tool for home automation. We'll also try the Pi as the brain behind an ingenious solution for launching cat toys. We'll use the Pi to monitor sensors and gadgets in a race car, and we'll show you how to add a real-time clock chip to your Raspberry Pi configuration. We also build a cool music player for preschool kids, and we take a spin with turtle graphics in the kid-friendly Scratch programming language.

Raspberry Pi users think small and dream big, imagining ingenious projects that put the unobtrusive Raspberry Pi to work on practical problems. And along the way, they learn things you don't ever discover by pointing and clicking with a smartphone or MacBook.
Welcome to the sixth issue of Raspberry Pi Geek magazine. In case you haven't done the math, six issues for a bimonthly magazine means we're celebrating our one year anniversary! We had a great year, and so did the amazing Raspberry Pi computer. It seems like we were just writing about the 2 millionth Raspberry Pi, and now the Foundation has announced the 3 millionth unit.
Wolfram Mathematica and the powerful Wolfram language are now available for the Raspberry Pi. We'll help you get started with this fascinating tool for calculation, presentation, visualization, and general programming.
A new year begins for the Raspberry Pi community. If 2015 is anything like last year, it will find the Pi in thousands of new projects – controlling sensors, animating toys, enabling new media art expositions, bringing wonder to museum displays, and helping adults and children learn about computers.
Raspberry Pi gets a new browser and new VGA support. Also, Raspberry Jams, Shellshock, and Eben talks A+.
