[open-data-day] Open Data Day - Mountain View, CA [Open Science/Data Education Course Sprint]

[Mike West]

Hi Billy,

I am going to run a Raspberry Pi demo / learning table as my
contribution to the Toronto Event. Looking for some ideas that bring
using the Pi around to something related to Open Data and this looks
like a great way.

Thanks,
Mike West
