Linux Pi Boot camp
Welcome | How To Get There | Volunteer Info | Download Links
Welcome
If you are new to Raspberry Pi and/or Linux and would like some help getting it installed and working, there are local experts available to help you.
You may visit https://eventbrite.ca/event/16372002099 to help give the organizers an idea of roughly how many intend to attend this event. This is a free event and it is open to anyone and everyone.
The organizers would very much like to thank Algonquin College for the use of their space, equipment, electricity and internet access and also the volunteer members of the non-profit Ottawa Canada Linux Users' Group (OCLUG) for donating their time and expertise without which we would not be able to offer such an event.
When and Where
Feel free to drop in anytime during the event. Don't feel obligated to stay the whole day, although many of us plan to do so.
We will have an Info Desk set up outside Room T119 at Algonquin College.
More detailed directions may be found on our How To Get There page.
