PyCon: Eben Upton on the Raspberry PiPyCon: Eben Upton on the Raspberry PiPosted Mar 21, 2013 21:39 UTC (Thu) by hamjudo (subscriber, #363)In reply to: PyCon: Eben Upton on the Raspberry Pi by dlang Parent article: PyCon: Eben Upton on the Raspberry Pi "It doesn't have to work the majority of the time, at a million units shipped already, if it only works a fraction of 1% of the time that still gets a lot of new programmers." In the last 2 months of 2012, I distributed 6 pi's to people I thought I could get interested in programming on them. 2 teenagers are actively using theirs. So I sort of got a whopping 33%. Although, one of them only counts as a conversion to Linux. He was already programming. A 15 year old boy tried to impress my 15 year old daughter with the Mandelbrot sets he generated. A sure sign that he was an excellent candidate for using a Raspberry Pi. Also a sure sign that romance will not come easy. Not counting the ringer, I still got a respectable 20%.
