WROCC explores Pluto – 5th November

That’s the email client, not the dwarf planet, of course!

Martin Avison will be the guest speaker at the next Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club (WROCC) meeting, at which he will be discussing news and email client Pluto.

The application was first developed in the late 1990s by Jonathan Duddington, and Martin will go into detail about its history, leading up to it becoming open source and still maintained even though its creator has moved on to other things. He will also demonstrate a new installation of Pluto, along with AntiSpam, and use it to send and receive some emails, and that will be rounded off with a demonstration of a more fully populated Pluto, exploring some of the many facilities it offers.

The meeting will take place on Wednesday, 5th November, with a kick off time of 7:45pm – and like all WROCC meetings now, it will be held online using the Zoom video conferencing system, allowing you to join from the comfort of your own home.

The only requirements for attendance are a system on which Zoom can be run, and the meeting credentials. These remain the same as previous meetings, so if you’ve attended any recent monthly WROCC meetings you should have them, but if not they can be obtained by contacting the group.

Although the meeting is open to any RISC OS user, regardless of WROCC membership status, it’s well worth supporting the group by joining; the cost is just £10 each year, and you get the group’s self-titled monthly newsletter sent to your inbox as a PDF file, along with access to their online discussion forum.

You can also find recordings of previous meetings on YouTube, linked from the Meetings page on their website.
