Docker is a computer program that performs operating-system-level virtualization, also known as “containerization”. A Container is a lightweight application component including all the required elements (libraries, config, etc). Containers can be quickly started up without polluting your file system with libraries, and config files, and easily upgraded with one command.
In this presentation, we’ll install docker on the Pi, and get nginx webserver up and running in a container. The presentation material can be found here.

A shallow Dive into Adafruit’s Circuit Playground Express
Welcome back from Summer. At this meeting we’ll be doing a show and tell, talking about what Pi (and others) projects we worked on over the summer break
Victoria PiMakers and Others are on a summer break. We will meet again on Saturday, September 8th, at Q-College. The presentation(s) will be “My Summer Show & Tell.”
Jim’s presentation focuses on interfacing sensors and devices ( modules) to microcontrollers followed by actual examples. Two or more examples will be discussed using I/O from pulse inputs, IR transmitters/receivers, accelerometers, load cells, Bluetooth SPP and motion controllers.
Along with everything the Google Assistant already does, you can add your own question and answer pairs. All in a handy little cardboard cube, powered by a Raspberry Pi.
Two views of Statistical Programming. The second in the series. R is a programming language and free software environment for statistical computing and graphics that is supported by the R Foundation
Node-RED is a programming tool for wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services in new and interesting ways.
AND Mike will present MicroPython on the ESP8266. The presentation will share the Micropython breakthru that allows a $4 WiFi-enabled microprocessor to run a good portion of the Python standard library. It’s really quite amazing to have the Python REPL and filesystem built right into a microcontroller.
One of the many cool things you can do with your Raspberry Pi is to add a $30 DVT-T (
The Jupyter Notebook is an open-source web application that allows you to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations and narrative text.

Discover the advantages of Power of Ethernet (PoE)! PoE is a technology that allows one to only run one cable to a distant device, just an ethernet cable. The distant device not only receives network connectivity, but also power from the single cable. This is good for small low power devices such as ESP8266 (embedded controller) boards.

Andrew will share with us his trials and testing with IP -based Cameras, and integration with the Raspberry Pi.
Why have a personal webserver? Easy distribution of files.
A presentation on creating a house monitoring device, with sensors, reporting via cell phone text interface. Pretty cool stuff.
