Our summer travel diary

Welcome to the ‘ber months! If you don’t think the ‘ber months are the best time of the year, you are wrong. However, we did have an epic summer of travel and community outreach. Every Raspberry Pi fan who came up to our booths, the hundreds of handshakes shared between us, and the gazillions of stickers and merch items handed out made for a memorable few months. Here are some highlights and a look ahead to an even busier autumn.

Open Sauce 2025 was a blast as always

Summer highlights

• Open Sauce in San Francisco: Back in July, we met a bunch of makers, tech enthusiasts, YouTubers, and other Open Sauce–goers in the Bay Area, and got to see Raspberry Pi–powered creations absolutely everywhere. It was fab.
• DEFCON in Las Vegas: At this year’s DEF CON, we ran a few workshops on our RP2350 microcontroller, and on our secure boot tools for our Raspberry Pi Compute Modules. We also demoed our new AES library, which has been hardened against side-channel attacks, and a few of the victors from our first RP2350 hacking challenge walked us through their winning attacks.
• Raspberry Pi Pico workshops in Kigali, Rwanda: Over the course of two days in July, we helped run a free workshop teaching participants how to solve real-world challenges using sensors, networking, and cloud technology on our Raspberry Pi Pico microcontrollers.
• Raspberry Pi Pop-Up Store in Bristol, UK: Back home in the UK, we brought the Raspberry Pi Store to Cribbs Causeway, Bristol, and helped local enthusiasts try and buy a range of Raspberry Pi products, books, and merch.

All the community-led Raspberry Jams also kept going over the summer, and we enjoyed staying up to date with their happenings across socials.
