Esteemed Monks...
A few weeks back, choroba pointed out to me that Timm Murray was proposing to write an eBook for using Perl on the Raspberry Pi. Due to my extensive work on that platform over the last two-plus years, I had keen interest in the project.
Timm will be writing the bulk of the content using various distributions including my RPi::WiringPi along with all its related distributions, and I will be adding at least one chapter to cover my indoor grow room single-webpage environment controller, as well as performing editing duties and testing of the code.
We've been working together for a couple of weeks now, and today, I'm proud to announce the official launching of the fundraiser for the new book. Here's Timm's official announcement.
Whether you're interested in working on the Raspberry Pi, or just want to donate to a good cause for other Perl hackers, please have a look.
Thanks!

Disclaimer: I feel kind of awkward posting a campaign for funding (it's my first time ever). I did discuss this post prior to posting it with the gods however, and they felt it was appropriate.
Update: If you click this link, it'll pre-load a super-search for all of my root-level posts related to my work on the Pi here at Perlmonks. I am uncertain of how to make it direct you to the list specifically, so you just have to click the "Search" button on the resulting page.
