Umbraco and Sustainability: Talks By Terence Burridge and Ali Graham

Details
Terence Burridge: Can you skip your Pi and not eat it?
Comparing and challenging the Raspberry Pi against other devices for running Umbraco. Since the move by Umbraco to .NET core, and the better opening up of Linux as a platform, a default position which is often fallen to by developers is 'Hey, I can now host this on a Raspberry Pi', largely as it has the biggest name recognition. In his talk Terence challenges this position, exploring if there are better options out there for developers who want to run Umbraco on their own low-cost platforms. Terence compares the use of Pi to run Umbraco to a variety of other cheap and recycled mini PC platforms, such as repurposed Android TV boxes, thin clients and repurposed ex-corporate workstation machines. Considering the wider sustainability benefits if of giving an existing 'old' device a new lease of life.
