RISC OS Awards 2015 results

The RISC OS Awards poll for 2015 officially drew to a close in mid-February, with the votes being counted and initially announced on the @RISCOSitory Twitter feed about a week later – and those results have now been published on the RISC OS Awards website, and – where possible – the winners will be formally notified by email today.

RISC OS Awards 2014 – a reminder, and a memory jog

Remembering it for you, so you don’t have to. With the form for the 2014 RISC OS Awards poll now having been online for more than half of the intended period – it was opened for votes at the start of December, and will be closed in just three weeks at the end of January – it’s disappointing to note that the number of votes is worryingly low, at just 50 so far. And glancing at those votes, quite a number of people have only cast votes in a small…

Portsmouth’s first RISC OS show

Putting Portsmouth on the RISC OS map. The first ever RISC OS show in Portsmouth took place on 28th September, 2013- and it seems to have been a successful one, with both exhibitors and visitors reflecting positively about the event. The venue itself, the second floor of Innovation Warehouse Portsmouth, was comparatively small, offering a much more limited amount of space than other RISC OS shows, but the number of exhibitors filled the space very neatly, giving a good balance of things to see and people to talk to versus…

Midlands Show: report and photos

By the eighth day machine just got upset. A show report had not been posted yet… Just over a week ago, on July 7th, the Midsummer Midlands Mugshow 2012 took place. This is the smallest UK show of the RISC OS year, attracting the fewest exhibitors and visitors alike, and most exhibitors tend to time their big news and releases for the bigger shows, such as Wakefield and London. As usual, I set off from the RISCOSitory/Soft Rock Software top secret underground bunker (the entrance cunningly disguised as a ramshackle…

RISC OS London Show 2011 – Preview

The RISC OS London Show 2011 is finally upon us. In the morning, I will be making my way down to the hall at the St Giles Hotel, Feltham, where I’ve already set up my stand, ready for when the doors are open to the public at 11am. The line up for this year’s show includes plenty of regular faces as well as a few less regular (and perhaps first time) exhibitors, and some special treats – so let’s get straight down to business and look at who and what…

RISC OS events

This page contains details of upcoming RISC OS shows, and any other events that while not specifically to do with RISC OS may be of interest to users of the platform, for example because someone from the RISC OS world is exhibiting. Over time, I would like to expand this page to include historical show dates – and should I do so, link to online reports and other information. For now, however, it just covers those events that are known or anticipated for 2023/2024. User group details were previously also…

RISC OS London Show – final countdown

It is now just a few days until the RISC OS London Show, 2010, organised by ROUGOL – the RISC OS User Group of London – which takes place on October 23rd at the St Giles Hotel, Feltham.
