Well I've been banging on about this to everyone I know so thought it was time to put something on this blog too.

The Raspberry Pi is a UK charity aiming to produce a cheap computer to get children back into programming to address the shortfall in skills that has gradually been on the rise in the 16 - 18 bracket.

By producing a small and cheap ARM based linux computer in the $25 - $35 range they hope that they will be able to get younger children involved in how a computer works instead of just being a consumer.
