Allow more time for international competetions
Allow more time for international competetions
The Issue
Raspberry Pi is great, both for its plans and philosophy. However the Foundation missed a point while the launching Christmas Competition.
Raspberry Pi Christmas Competition (http://www.raspberrypi.org/christmas-competition/) was announced on December 9, 2014, just a month before a deadline (January 10, 2015).
However from some countries, general registered post takes about a month to reach UK (Where the displays are to be sent).
Speed posts would cost about hall price of the Raspberry Pi model A+ itself, which is a lot compared to the value of other things in some countries (like Burundi, Liberia, Madagascar, Cambodia and so on).
So please allow some more time for such internatinal competitions - not for designing displays, but for the time taken by Postal Services.
