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…

Don’t forget to cast your vote in the 2014 RISC OS Awards
Of course, announcing the ability to vote in the first place would help! As noted in the 31st December Snippets post, things became a little hectic around these parts over the last couple of months, which meant very little time could be devoted to keeping RISCOSitory up to date. However, I was able to set aside some time to set up the 2014 RISC OS Awards voting form, and even announce that via comp.sys.acorn.announce – but what I failed to do was also announce it here. Oops!
Read MoreThe 2013 RISC OS Survey results are now online
Lots of RISC OS users run RISC OS. Apparently. When RISCOSitory ran the recent awards poll for the two years 2012 and 2013, the voting form also included a simple survey – the goal being to form an idea of what the RISC OS user-base is currently like, what systems are in use, and so on.

Is that a drum roll I hear? Voting closed a few days ago in the first annual awards poll to be run by RISCOSitory on the RISC OS Awards website, and the votes have now been calculated – on RISC OS, of course! In most cases, the winner achieved notably more votes than any others – and in some cases that amounted to more than half the votes. Going the other way, when it was close it couldn’t have been closer; in one case there was just one vote between…
Read MoreThe RISC OS Awards 2012/13 – open for votes!
The polling booths are now open! The RISC OS Awards website, through which RISCOSitory is conducting a combined awards poll for the two years 2012 and 2013, is now able to accept your votes. Between now and mid-January you will be able to vote for your favourite piece of software, the show you enjoyed the most, the project you find most interesting, and more besides. However, if you feel you are unable to form an opinion in any given category – perhaps you weren’t able to attend any shows, for…

Celebrating the best of the RISC OS world! Picking up the baton from those who have carried out RISC OS awards polls in the past – the Acorn press of old, followed by the Drobe, Icon Bar and RISCOScode websites – RISCOSitory is pleased to announce that it is conducting an awards poll to cover both 2012 and 2013. The poll – which will be combined with a simple survey to form a picture of the RISC OS landscape – will take place on its own website and, in time,…
