You can virtually attend meetings – but with no interaction. Just like TV! The Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club have come up with a new way to encourage membership from afar – by allowing members to virtually attend meetings, albeit after they’ve happened. In other words, they’re making videos of meetings available online for those people who are unable to attend in person.

User group meetings in June
If you like a lot of chocolate RISC OS in your biscuit social life, join a club! With some announcements about upcoming meetings appearing around the same time, as well as news of possible changes to meeting dates, why not throw them all together with some bacon, lettuce and tomato in a sarnie. Except without the bacon, lettuce or tomato – since this isn’t a sarnie, it’s a RISCOSitory post. What? It’s been a long weekend! Umm… anyway…

“we started off with the best machine in the world, ever, the BBC Micro model B” For their October 2012 meeting, ROUGOL (the RISC OS User Group of London, who organise the annual RISC OS London Show , this year taking place on 26th October at its usual venue, the St Giles Hotel, Feltham) managed to get none other than Paul Fellows to attend as guest speaker.

A better late than never introduction for the RISC OS world to the #RaspberryJam RISC OS users should by now need no introduction to the Raspberry Pi – but in case there is anyone reading this who has been living as a hermit for the last few years with no access to the internet (or any other news sources) in their cave, it is a very small, incredibly cheap computer based around a Broadcom BCM2835 ‘System on a Chip’ (or SoC). The heart of that SoC is an ARM processor,…

Following the success of the first meeting of members of the Bristol RISC OS Users mailing list, a discussion list formed to support the possible rebirth of a user group for the area, a second meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday 16th March, 2011, and is therefore an ideal opportunity to discuss anything of interest from the RISC OS South West Show, which takes place on Saturday 5th March, 2011.
Read MoreBristol RISC OS Users announce an initial informal meeting
Following on from discussions that began about a year ago and which led initially to the creation of a mailing list to bring together RISC OS users in and around the Bristol area, an initial meeting has been announced for those users – so if you are a RISC OS user in that area, the date to note in your diaries is Wednesday 26th January, 7:15pm for 7:30pm, and the venue the Air Balloon pub in Filton, Bristol – which is very easy to find. The following is the announcement…
Read MoreLogo ideas for Bristol RISC OS user group
Updated 31/1/2010 with a fourth idea and altered to use a vector based acorn. Updated 1/2/2010 with a new version of idea 4, but with better colours, and a few others. Following the initial comments made earlier this week about the possibility of starting a new Bristol based RISC OS user group if there is enough interest, Trevor was able to find a copy of the old BARUG (Bristol Area RISC OS User Group) logo: To my mind, there are a small number of issues with this. First and foremost,…
Read MoreIs there any scope for starting a new Bristol RISC OS user group?
Littered around the country, and possibly overseas as well, there are a number of RISC OS user groups, who meet up on a regular basis, discuss RISC OS issues and have developers and other guests pop in to demonstrate their latest software or give a talk on some aspect of what they do or have done. There used to be such a group for Bristol and the surrounding areas, which I never bothered to join (so in a way I’m partly responsible for what happened next). That group closed down…
