This Saturday (3rd June) will see the latest in a series of friendly ‘fireside chats’ for developers. These meetings are aimed at developers of all levels – people who aren’t yet developers but who would like to become beginners, beginners who wish to learn from experts, experts who are in awe of wizards, and, well, wizards.
The next meeting of Bristol RISC OS Users (BRU) is set for Wednesday, 10th May.
Steve Fryatt has released a new version of PrintPDF, with a new facility that can be used by developers of other applications.
The next important date in the typical RISC OS year is almost upon us, with the Wradfold Show – that’s the official RISCOSitory name for the Wakefield Show when it takes place in Bradford – now just a smidgen under three weeks away.
The latest in a series of online meetings with developers in mind – friendly fireside chats with a view to sharing ideas and techniques, and providing guidance and advice – will take place on Saturday, 1st April.
An obvious reference like that is impossible to resist – sorry! The next meeting of the RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL) will take place on Monday, 20th March, and the guest speaker will be telling us how his submarine, Nautilus, is controlled via RISC OS. Wait, what? No, okay, then. The guest speaker will be Nemo20000, rather than Jules Verne’s fictional captain Nemo. ‘Our’ Nemo doesn’t have a submarine, but he does have some interesting RISC OS things to talk about.
If you have any interest in developing on or for RISC OS – at any level, from absolute beginner to seasoned programmer – there’s another meeting this Saturday (4th March) with you in mind.
No, not that Fast Show. You’ll not find Rowley Birkin QC here! The RISC OS Southwest Show is so incredibly close now that the exhibitors are in the hall, teeth chattering and knees knocking at the prospect of the huge throngs of people that will be coming through the door in about half an hour’s time. They’re already lining up outside, and I gather the numbers are so high the queue is visible from the International Space Station.
The first significant event in the RISC OS calendar for 2023 is the Southwest Show, and it will take place in one week’s time on Saturday, 25th February, at:
There is a developers’ meeting scheduled for Saturday, 21st January, starting at 7:30pm – which, for anyone without a calendar to hand (hang on, you’re reading this on a computer, tablet, or phone, right?) that’s tonight. The subject matter is the use of Git for RISC OS software development. The meeting is an online one, using Zoom, and the credentials should be the same as the two previous ‘fireside chat‘ meetings – but if don’t already have them and want to join, get in touch ASAP!
