On Saturday, November 3, a diverse program around the Raspberry Pi and other small computers will be presented at the University of Trier. As always, various talks and workshops will be held for beginners and experts. Hobbyists, makers, professional users, students, teachers, and other Pi enthusiasts will be in their element.

In addition to the Raspberry Pi, there are two other Minicomputer in focus this time: The Calliope mini, which some of you may know already, and the Kniwwelino, which has been developed in neighbouring Luxembourg. Both are especially targeted towards students and offer a particularly lightweight introduction to microcontroller programming. Also the topic Smart Home is in focus again: Several talks will show how to operate garage doors, how to control room temperatures or how to intelligently manage meeting rooms.

As usual, we ask that you register as a visitor in advance.

piandmore.de now comes in a new design and with new functions!

New features:

1. All previous events are now included in our archive.
2. All recorded contributions are now directly linked in the programs of the respective events.
3. All contributions and contributors can be easily located via the new search.

The conference system (call for contributions, visitor registration, helper system) and information about past and future events are now combined in one website.

While we fix last bugs, we appreciate your feedback: How do you like the site? What can we perhaps improve? What do you miss? Write us on Twitter, Facebook, or directly to kontakt@piandmore.de!

The individual talks will be edited in the next 1-2 weeks and will then be available as separate videos on YouTube!

350 visitors have registered for Pi and More 10½ already, so unfortunately there are no more tickets available. We would like to give more visitors the chance to participate in Pi and More, but we are bound by safety requirements that limit the size of the event. If you haven't got a ticket yet, we recommend our newsletter (so you'll be able to register earlier the next time, see right) and the live stream of the talks that we will be offering here on Saturday.

We are pleased to announce the program for Pi and More 10½ today! For our premiere in Swabia we didn't skimp on the program: numerous workshops, lectures and a large project exhibition are waiting for you. As a special treat, there are guided tours of the Computer Museum Stuttgart, which is conveniently located in the same building.

As usual, we ask all visitors to register in advance (free of charge)!

The talks from Pi and More 10 are available online in our Youtube channel.

For the next Pi and More on June 24 at the University of Trier, we have assembled a large and interesting program for you: Pi and More 10 provides you a whole day program with 17 talks, 2 workshops, and 13 project booths about the Pi and other small computers. You can find the whole agenda here.

As usual, entrance is free, but we would like you to register beforehand if you plan to attend.

This time, we will have lightning talks again! After lunch, you can present your project, event, or topic in 3 minutes. You can submit your short talk right at the venue.

See you on June 24!

All talks of Pi and More 9½ (in the Audimax and BE14 rooms) are available in our YouTube channel.

Pi and More 9½ will take place on January 14 at the Hochschule Niederrhein in Krefeld. Register now to save your visitor ticket (for free, of course)!

Do you have a topic you want to present at Pi and More? You can give a talk, exhibit a project, or teach others in a hands-on workshop. You can still submit your contribution until December 17 in our conference system.

On January 14, the first Raspberry Jam in North Rhine-Westphalia will open its doors at the Hochschule Niederrhein in Krefeld (about 30 km from the Netherlands)!

As usual, we will publish the schedule for the day including exact times a few weeks before the event. Until then, we are looking for your contributions - be it workshops, talks, or projects for our exhibition!

Btw: From now on, our smaller winter events will carry the "½" in their names.

A short presentation on the concept and history of Pi and More will be given at the workshop "Informatik - Begeisterung" (Informatics - Excitement) which is co-located with the conference INFORMATIK 2016. (Short version in German.) INFORMATIK 2016 is the 46th annual conference of the Gesellschaft für Informatik (German Informatics Society). The conference takes place from September 26-30 in Klagenfurt, Austria.

At the same time, we are continueing the preparations for the next two Pi and More events, with more information to follow soon, stay tuned!

Only a little more than two weeks until Pi and More 9 opens its doors in Trier. The largest Pi and More agenda ever awaits you with over 30 hours of talks and workshops plus a big project exhibition. There is something for everyone!

This time, we also have some talks in English. Additionally, especially in the project exhibition, most contributors will be happy to speak to you in English!
