Turn your home into a smarter open workplace! We explore how open source and the Raspberry Pi can help control your home by running containers more easily with Portainer, launch a NextCloud server, set up Jitsi video conferencing, OpenHAB smart protocol and MyCroft voice control.

Plus we test math suites, game on the Raspberry Pi, recreate the Doctor Who theme, emulate the Amiga, get better project planning and loads more!
