If you can find it, you’ll be able to find out where you are. Or something. The next RISC OS Users meeting in Bristol will take place on Wednesday, 13th September, in the Hope and Anchor pub, and will run from around 7:00-7:30pm until the pub’s closing time. An informal affair, the meetings are an opportunity for anyone in the area to meet up for a drink and a chat about all things RISC OS, and more besides. This month, Chris Hall intends to bring along the latest version of…

No jacket required at ROUGOL on 21st August
Just to clarify, I mean it’s an informal meeting, not that Phil Collins is performing tracks from his 1985 album. The holiday season is in full swing, so for the next meeting of the RISC OS User Group of London there will be no formal speaker. Instead, the meeting is to be an informal one, allowing for a general discussion of all things RISC OS over a drink and a meal.
Read MoreSouthampton meeting in August – usual place, different time
Last month it was usual time, different place – will both differ next month? The Southampton RISC OS Users Group will be holding it’s next meeting on Wednesday (oops…) Tuesday, 8th August – in the usual venue, but not at the usual time. The group normally meets in the Itchen College Sports Centre (unless pesky student exhibitions dictate otherwise) at around 7:00pm, but this month the meeting is scheduled for 6:45pm – and while the meetings usually run until 9:00pm, this one is scheduled to end at 8:30pm.

While it can’t take care of the most difficult part of game development – coming up with the initial idea – the Kit is designed to make game…
Read MoreA medley of matters at Wakefield meeting – 5th July
The Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club will next be meeting on Wednesday 5th July, and has a mixture of topics planned. Starting off the mix will be Derek Barron, who will be demonstrating his 3D Molecule program, amongst other things. Peter Richmond will then take a look at StudioSound – an audio sequencing package originally released by Oregan Developments, and since updated by Henrik Pedersen. Peter will be using various sound samples to show off the features of the package.
Read MoreMidlands User Group at Recursion, 1st July
Recursion comes around again! The Midlands User Group normally meets on the third Saturday of odd months, but July is a particularly odd month because this year they’re meeting on the first Saturday instead. It used to be that the group hosted their own RISC OS show in early July, and treated that as their meeting for the month – and that’s more or less what they still do, with the exception that their show is now a small area within a much bigger event that covers a great deal…

Read MoreCryptography and Security at ROUGOL on Monday, 19th June
This post has been double-encoded with ROT13, for your added security1. Cryptography and Security is the topic for the next meeting of the RISC OS User Group of London, with a presentation by Doctor Nat Queen of Birmingham University. Computer security is a topic that should be important to everyone these days, with so much of our lives stored on not only our own machines, but also those belonging to third party companies – from our energy supplies to our tax records; it’s all computerised, and the data is in…
Read MoreRobots, sensors, and a Raspberry Pi – Wakefield meeting, 7th June
Meeting probably safe – killer robots unlikely to appear. The next meeting of the Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club will take place on Wednesday 7th June, with the subject matter being “Things to do with Robots, Sensors, and a Raspberry Pi” – with no further information given beyond that, leaving plenty of room for speculation. The most obvious guess (given that no speaker has been mentioned) is that it’s going to be an open discussion on the things that can be done with, well, robots, sensors, and a Raspberry Pi.…
