• Raspberry Pi Ltd Has Gone Public

    From Lawrence D'Oliveiro@3:770/3 to All on Wed Jun 12 05:57:33 2024
    Raspberry Pi Ltd did its IPO on the London Stock Exchange <https://tech.slashdot.org/story/24/06/11/144251>. It’s not quite a billion-dollar company, but not far off.

    The Linux-powered Pi family has sold 60 million units in the 12 years they
    have been on the market. Not bad, eh?

    The London Stock Exchange connection is also apt, because they quite
    famously switched their trading system to Linux from Windows Server, after
    some rather embarrassing failures with the Microsoft product (look up the
    story of the “TradElect” system for more details).
