Happy Birthday Raspberry Pi

Somewhere between the end of Thursday and the start of Friday was the anniversary of the release of the Raspberry Pi (29/02/12 – a leap-year day).

Happy birthday!

Thanks for all the first birthday wishes, everyone! Because we launched on a leap-day last year, we’re celebrating on Friday. #partyhat

It’s been an amazing year – here’s to many more!
