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.
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. The new compute module (which we talked about last issue) brings the Pi to a new market of industrial uses. New add-ons and accessories appear every month, and a worldwide community of open hardware enthusiasts continues to push the boundary of what one could hope to accomplish with a $35 computer. Considering the official Raspberry Pi launch was only a little more than two years ago, we have already witnessed and chronicled a good portion of its history – and we're just getting started.
With this issue, we're rolling out a News column, where you'll find out about exciting events like the Raspberry Pi's auspicious arrival at Buckingham Palace. We also have a talk with Ben Gray about the amazing MeArm robotic arm, and we test drive the Banana Pi, a system-on-a-board computer modeled on the Raspberry Pi that comes with a dual-core processor and other higher end features.
Inside these pages, we've got lots of the amazing apps and cool projects you've come to expect from Raspberry Pi Geek. We'll show you how to control your Pi from the web with WebIOPi. You'll also find out how to build a 5-volt power supply to run your Pi on battery power. We'll discuss some tools for running an electronic information screen from your Raspberry Pi, and we'll describe how to use your Pi as a tool for managing slide show presentations.

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.
The amazing Raspberry Pi keeps evolving before our eyes. The Pis in the world (which reached 2 million in October 2013) are inspiring hackers young and old, amateur and professional, to put the Pi to work on practical problems. And, wherever Pi users go, Raspberry Pi Geek goes.
I'm amazed at the energy and inventiveness of the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Almost every time we print one of these magazines, we have something new to talk about. This time we're featuring the new Raspberry Pi B+ model. The B+ adds power and convenience to the beloved Rasp Pi B.
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.)
