CeBIT 2017

Unter dem Motto "d!conomy - no limits" präsentierte die CeBIT vom 20. - 24. März wieder in Hannover die aktuellen Entwicklungen in der IT-Branche.

Dabei dominierten die Themen Roboter, KI, autonomes Fahren und Digitalisierung allgemein. Insbesondere die Roboter in ihren verschiedenen Ausprägungsformen stellen gewissermaßen eine Verbindung zu den ursprüngen der Messe als Teil der Hannovermesse Industrie dar, aus der 1986 die CeBIT als eigenständige Verantaltung hervorging.

Für das kommende Jahr soll die Messe sich erneut neu erfinden und einen Tag kürzer sein und auch wieder Endverbraucher durch einen Eventcharakter ansprechen.

Der Veranstalter zieht dabei ein positives Fazit: https://heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Messe-zieht-positives-Fazit-fuer-letzte-CeBIT-alter-Praegung-3663814.html

Raspberry Pi annual birthday party in Cambridge

The Raspberry Pi Big Birthday Weekend was in full swing again on March 4th and 5^th. For the 3rd year, the Raspberry Pi community was flocking to Cambridge.

This year, placed in a new venue, the birthday celebration of the world’s famous mini- computer took place in Cambridge Junction in the middle of town. Presentations, a fair, cake and burgers were on the plan for the weekend. We could see cool demos as well as buy the new 'Pi Zero W' that was new this month. This version of the Raspberry Pi can do Wifi – isn’t that great?

For everyone who couldn’t come, we collected some impressions. Have a look at the pictures below! 

Have a lovely weekend,
