Don’t say you haven’t been given plenty of advance notice! RISC OS South West Show The date for the South West Show, usually the first show of the year, was initially published on this site in the 2013 Portsmouth Show report – but, in case you missed it (along with the fairly large advert1 for the show which, at the time of writing, is staring at you from the left hand side of this page), it’s set for Saturday, 1st March, 2014.
Read MoreIt’s here at last: the London Show report 2013
Fanfares, please! The latest event in the RISC OS Calendar – the RISC OS London Show, 2013 – took place just over three weeks ago in its usual venue, the St Giles Hotel, Feltham. Organised by the RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL), the show seemed from my point of view to be as busy and well attended as usual, though I understand the overall number of visitors was down on previous years by a small margin. Having said that, I spoke to a few people who I don’t remember…
Read MoreCounting down to the London Show 2013
Coming soon to a hotel near you Heathrow. The next big event in the RISC OS Calendar is almost upon us: This year’s RISC OS London Show takes place on the 26th October, 2013 – next Saturday. At this moment, the exhibitor list stands at just shy of two dozen and includes the bigger RISC OS names, along with plenty of smaller companies and individuals showing off their latest software and hardware projects. The current list is:
Read MoreWhat a show – London 2012
Pinch me, I must be dreaming! First of all, I must apologise for the very long delay in producing this show report and keeping up with RISC OS news in general. The reason for this has been a combination of the usual workload (with the period after this show normally being one of my busy ones) with some health issues thrown in for good measure, including a short but unexpected – and very unwelcome – stay in hospital. The most recent significant event in the RISC OS Calendar took place…

It’s now less than 3.14159265359 days away. Shaping up to be something you really, really don’t want to miss, the RISC OS London Show takes place this Saturday – 27th October, 2012 – at the St Giles Hotel, Feltham. Why don’t you want to miss it? Well, make yourselves comfortable, and allow me to explain…
Read MoreMidlands 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…
Read MoreLondon Show videos, 2012 date officially announced
With the 2011 London Show now a happy memory, ROUGOL (the RISC OS User Group of London, who organise the show) have uploaded videos of the various theatre talks from the show. Most are available in both AVI and MPEG formats, with the latter being described as “RiscPC friendly”. In some cases there is a second, smaller AVI file.
Read MoreDate spotted in the wild for London 2012
Although there has been no announcement yet of a London Show for 2012 – which is hardly surprising since only a month has passed since the 2011 show, at which we saw the Raspberry Pi running RISC OS, amongst many other things – it appears that ROUGOL (the RISC OS User Group of London, who normally organise the London Show) may have already made the decision to go ahead with a 2012 show. They’ve posted the date of the 2012 show on their website: Saturday, 27th October, 2012.
