• New Contest:  Win a Raspberry Pi
  • The contest began December 1st, 2013 and runs through January 31st, 2014.  The winner will be announced on the live recording of LHS Episode #123 on February 4th, 2014.  Entries must be received by 12:00am Central on February 1st, 2014 in order to participate.  There are three ways to win.
  • Active Linux in the Ham Shack paid members will be automatically  entered to win.  Therefore, if you are already a member or if you sign  up for a membership (either monthly or yearly) by January 31st, 2014 you will be entered into the contest.  Your membership must still be active on February 4th, 2014 at the time of the drawing to win.
  • You may also enter by calling the LHS Voice Line at +1-909-547-7469  and completing the following thought:  “My new Raspberry Pi will be used  to…”  Be as serious or ludicrous as you want.  This method of entry  requires no money, just a little of your time.  Make sure to leave your  phone number or e-mail address so we can contact you if you win.  Your  personal information will not be disclosed, but your response will be  played on the air!
  • You can render artistically in some way  your concept of a Raspberry Pi.  This can mean the computer, a raspberry  pie, or some other interpretation we haven’t thought of yet.  You can  use any artistic medium, from a sketch to beat poetry.  Be creative!   You will receive TWO entries into the contest if you choose this  option.  We will post your creativity on the Web site for others to  enjoy, and mention what you’ve done on the show. Have fun with it!
  • The  winner will receive a brand new Raspberry Pi, HDMI-to-DVI converter and  power supply with USB cable that can be used to power your new Pi from a  wall outlet or any powered USB port.  Thank you for being a loyal  follower of the show.  We look forward to your entries and best of luck!
