Entrance is free, so why not come along and say hello?
Exciting news: ROUGOL are organising the RISC OS London Show this autumn. Put Saturday 3rd October in your diary now!

RISC OS on Beagleboard - ROOL: Steve Revill, Andrew Hodgkinson, and Ben Avison
One of the most exciting announcements this year was that Jeffrey Lee had got RISC OS 5 running on the Beagleboard. This command line only version was on the ROOL stand at the Wakefield show, but since then work has progressed rapidly and this will be most people's first opportunity to see the RISC OS desktop running on the Beagleboard, which will be driving ROUGOL's projector for everyone to see.
The Beagleboard is a prototype hardware development system for devices using the new ARM Cortex-A8 processor. This system is being used in several upcoming netbook computers, such as the Touchbook, so getting RISC OS running on the Beagleboard offers up the possibility of new native RISC OS hardware.
ROOL will be demonstrating Beagleboard(s) with RISC OS 5 and talking more about the exciting future
this could lead to.
