Issue #13 — Berlin
Hallo!
This week’s newsletter is brought to you by Ryan as Ben is currently on holiday in Berlin. He’s helping out at a Python workshop run by Open Tech School at the weekend – and he’ll be speaking about Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Jams at Geek2Geek at Behrenstraße 28 on Tuesday evening. Ryan has been busy with starting college and is planning to soon run his own Raspberry Jam in Stevenage next month.
Tschüß
Ben & Ryan

Their hosting starts at only £15 per month and runs to multi-site managed setups for customers with the fussiest demands of reliability and failover.
