Eben Upton Muses on the Raspberry Pi, Scratch and, His Love For Parallela

[wraggster]

"In a 7,000 word interview with Raspberry Pi's founder posted on TuxRadar.com, Eben Upton talks about the challenges of managing such a successful project (http://tuxradar.com/content/%EF%BB%BFinterview-eben-upton), what may be in the Raspberry Pi mark 2, and why he wishes he'd backed the Parallela (http://www.parallella.org/introduction/)Kickstarter."On interesting answer: "We were thinking of booting into Python or booting into Scratch. For younger kids, boot into Scratch. Have an environment where it’s Linux underneath, boots into Scratch and hold down a key at a particular point during boot and it doesn’t boot into Scratch it just drops into the prompt. So you can play with Scratch for six months, once you’re happy with Scratch you turn over the page and 'Hold down F1 during boot,' and it’s like 'Oh look - it’s a PC!' So I think that’s something we’d really like to do."
