Raspberry Pi is merging with a "global coding skills network":
We've got some great news to share today: the Raspberry Pi Foundation is joining forces with the CoderDojo Foundation, in a merger that will give many more young people all over the world new opportunities to learn how to be creative with technology.
CoderDojo is a global network of coding clubs for kids from seven to 17. The first CoderDojo took place in July 2011 when James Whelton and Bill Liao decided to share their passion for computing by setting up a club at the National Software Centre in Cork. The idea was simple: provide a safe and social place for young people to acquire programming skills, learning from each other and supported by mentors.
[...] The CoderDojo Foundation will continue as an independent charity, based in Ireland. Nothing about CoderDojo's brand or ethos is changing as a result of this merger. CoderDojos will continue to be platform-neutral, using whatever kit they need to help young people learn.

In other news, Hasbro, owners of the popular game Operation, have joined forces with DoctorDojo in a merger that will give many more young people (especially women, except transgendered one, yet black and Hispanic ones, but not Asian ones) all over the world new opportunities to learn how to be creative with medicine.

Just have an instinctive feeling there's something to go bad on this deal. Design creep into the unusable? "inclusion"? bells and whistles until the device price itself out? Must use javaterror site with gigamanygigs browser to get started?
