If you need to read this, shame on you – you weren’t there! The 2014 London Show took place two and a half weeks ago, on 25th October, at the St Giles Hotel, Feltham – and, with the trusty RISCOSitory coin suggesting anti-clockwise as the direction to take, here’s a rundown of who was there and what they’d brought along.
RISC OS South West 2013: show report (updated)

And I’m pleased to say that this year, I managed to find my way to the Webbington Hotel easily, without taking any wrong turns and without getting lost. I still managed to turn up late, though, and arrived after the show had already opened to the public. That is, however, fully in keeping with tradition – getting lost last year caused me to…
Drag ‘n Drop Volume 3 bargain bundle
Drag ‘n Drop, cheap as chips. Well, fish & chips twice at my local chip shop. The latest volume of Drag ‘n Drop magazine is now available as a bundle for the princely sum of £9.00, a saving of £3.00 over buying the four individual issues. Launched in 2009, the PDF based magazine nearly came to a close after only two volumes when its editor, Paul Stewart, decided to cease publication not long before the 2011 London Show.

QuadDioph is a new piece of software from Martin Carradus.

Following the recent Archive sampler, with its news of a new computer running RISC OS natively that might be unveiled at the South West Show on Saturday, R-Comp Interactive have issued a press release about this new machine, which now has a name; ARMini. Here’s what they had to say:
RISC OS in video #01
How about another new trial feature? There is a growing number of videos on YouTube that are either about RISC OS, mention it in some way, or at least may be of interest to its users. They may not be appearing with any great frequency, but more do appear online from time to time. So why not have an occasional post highlighting any such videos?

It was clear from when the name first appeared that there was going to be a crowdfunding campaign, and this has since been confirmed and expanded on further by Cloverleaf’s Stefan Fröhling.
