Look at it this way, 40 Pitops Ceeds and their power adaptors is a lot easier than counting 40 monitors, 40 kettle cords, 40 Pi Power supplies and 40 Pis.

I had a hard enough time make sure all the equipment was properly accounted for. Currently, alone we have equipment coming from 6 different places. Adding 160 other pieces of equipment would have been a counting nightmare for me.

Are you sure? I was actually surprised that nowhere in the article the Pi-Top is mentioned — despite it can be seen on most of the pictures.

So how should someone advertise something without telling what it is? And no, you can’t call it product placement unless it’s either very well-known product or easily recognizable what brand it is.

I can rather imagine that quite some people were curious where to buy such a nice all-in-one desktop as seen on the pictures and were then disappointed that the article didn’t tell them! Only if you also read the comments (including yours btw.), you get an idea how to find that product on the web.

So your comment (and two others) made those pictures into a product placement ­— but clearly not the author of that article.

I was going to delete your comment, which is mean-spirited and not based in reality, but I thought I’d let it stand just so I can make something very, very clear.

Pi Top do not pay us a penny. I can’t think of any other companies that we’ve shown “bias” towards in the way you seem to be suggesting who do either: I’m assuming you mean organisations like Adafruit and Pimoroni, or The Pi Hut, or Pi Supply, or Mod My Pi. We do highlight cool stuff those organisations do, though – because it’s cool. Not because we’re paid to. And it’s an offensive accusation: we’re a charity, and we try very hard to do the right thing. We use Pi Top hardware at events like this because right now, for us, it’s the best and most portable solution to the many monitors problem when you’re setting up a big event.

Full disclosure: some organisations have been kind enough to make grants that support our charitable activity. This year we’ve been able to extend our Picademy teacher training to many hundreds more teachers than we would have been able to otherwise because Google offered us venue space and funding to hire trainers. We were able to organise a worldwide weather station project bringing maths, physics, geography and 灭火宝贝成人版在线观看 to thousands of kids around the world because Oracle helped us to fund that project. I don’t think writing about those projects is emblematic of bias either.

Perhaps you might find a nice cup of tea might help. It certainly calms me down if I feel like writing something mean on the internet about something I’m not very clear about.

The pi-topCEED is available in green and grey. When you click “Add to cart”, it gives you a few options, including colour selection.

The pi-topCEED seems a nice design that allows the GPIO to be accessible by removing a panel. The website

seems only to offer the green ones. Where did the black come from? Would it be possible to get blue or yellow?

This year MozFest was held at Ravensbourne College in London from Friday 28 – Sunday 29 October.

Did you mean Sunday 30 October?
