Intro to Pi & Others is a short monthly session to help get you up and running with your Pi or Other (embedded device). It is an unstructured hour-long session where you can ask questions, bring in your Pi or Other (and power supply), and get help with your project.
We plan on holding these sessions once a month on a Tuesday night. If you are looking for a bit of help, this session is for you.

The future of the internet, Introduction to IPv6
- Victoria Computer Club
- 85A Burnside Rd West (at Wascana), Victoria, BC (map)
The internet has run out of IPv4 addresses (as of Oct 2016). The future of the internet and networking will rely on the “new” IPv6 protocol.
There’s more to IPv6 than a really big address. Come and learn the basics of this foundation of the next generation Internet.
We’ll cover:
• Why do we need IPv6?
• Not your Grandmother’s IP
• IPv6 Addressing
• Hands on session (Please bring a computer for the hands on session: Pi, Laptop, BSD machine)

Pi lifts off to ISS
Cambridge’s world-famous Raspberry Pi has hit new heights – by being blasted into space.
On December 6th an Antares Cygnus rocket carried 2 Pi’s to the International Space Station. Tim Peakes, the first British ESA astronaut, will use the Raspberry Pi for educational outreach.
Tim Peakes arrives at the Internation Space Station December 15 at 17:24 GMT.
Astro Pi
Your code in space!
Astro Pi Mission
Two augmented Raspberry Pi computers (called Astro Pis) are being flown to the International Space Station (ISS) as part of British ESA Astronaut Tim Peake’s mission. They are both equipped with the mighty Sense HAT that can measure the environment inside the station, detect how it’s moving through space, and pick up the Earth’s magnetic field. Each Astro Pi is also equipped with a different kind of camera; one has an infra-red camera and the other has a standard visible spectrum camera.
