People interested in developing on or for RISC OS will have their next opportunity for a friendly, informal (virtual) get together on Saturday, 7th September, at the next friendly fireside chat.
Whether you are fully conversant with the inner workings of the WIMP or are trying to work out what the programmers reference manual is saying on a certain page, or whether you are an advanced C programmer or someone whose BASIC is, well, basic, these meetings are for you. They provide a means for beginners and inexperienced programmers to seek help and advice from those who have already been there and done that (and some of us really do have the t-shirts).
If those attending are lucky, and those with something to show off are willing, the meetings sometimes feature impromptu demonstrations of things in development, although the meetings are generally more conversational in nature.
As well as an interest in RISC OS development, the other thing you’ll need if you want to join the meeting are a computer or other device capable of running Zoom, and the meeting credentials. You’ll have these already if you’ve been on a previous fireside chat meeting, but if you haven’t there are a few ways to get them:
- You can contact Andrew McCarthy on Twitter or Mastodon – or indeed from your RISC OS computer using ChatCube.
- Or you can send an email to me here in the RISCOSitory bunker. Please note, though, that any emails sent to me on the day of the meeting itself will not receive a reply until very close to the meeting’s start time!
