The remarkable Raspberry Pi has spawned a myriad of supporting projects – Android apps, program libraries, specialized Linux distributions, and an assortment of hardware accessories. The rapid changes within these projects is testament to the excitement and enthusiasm that developers around the world have given to the Raspberry Pi.
Technology changes fast in this life. Moore's law, that mystical conjecture that has ruled the evolution of processor chips for 48 years, predicts a 100% increase in processor capacity every two years. You buy a mobile phone and think it is brand new, and a year and a half later it is out of date. OS versions have a shelf life of a year, or even six months. Yet even in this world of rapid evolution, the Raspberry Pi universe seems to inhabit a particularly accelerated reference frame.

One of the most exciting recent additions to the Raspberry Pi environment is the Pi camera module add-on board, which was officially released earlier this year. The Pi camera opens the door to whole new categories of home-built projects. Let the Pi snap pictures while you're away. Build the camera into your scripts; use the live eye of the Rasp Pi camera to measure light or recognize patterns.

The amazing Raspberry Pi camera module opens into a whole new world of useful projects. We'll show you how to use the Pi camera for time-lapse photography, and we'll even help you set up a motion-detecting surveillance camera.
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.)
Things move quickly in the Raspberry Pi ecosystem. This regular column rounds up the best Raspberry Pi and open hardware news to keep you up to date on the latest projects, products, and events.
Read all about the Pi as Droid, Raspberry Pi seismograph, your Pi on Docker, and PiCapture video hardware.
We talk with James Adams about the new Raspberry Pi Compute Module.
