Software Distribution for RISC OS on Raspberry Pi at ROUGOL, Monday 17th September 2012

[ROUGOL]

The next meeting of the RISC OS User Group Of London will be:

Software Distribution for RISC OS on Raspberry Pi
Presented by Theo Markettos

Monday 17th September 2012, 7:45pm

The Blue-Eyed Maid (upstairs in the Spice Lounge restaurant)
173 Borough High Street
London
SE1 1HR


Theo works at the University of Cambridge Computer Lab and has been
involved in the Raspberry Pi project from its early days. Those
lucky enough to attend last year's RISC OS London Show will have
seen his presentation about the Pi when there were less than 50
available, compared to almost 500000 now.

Lately Theo has been helping ROOL with the production of the
official RISC OS distribution for the Raspberry Pi. This has
included creating "packages" of many common applications so that
they can be easily installed by users inexperienced with RISC OS.

This meeting will be a chance to see the results of this work and
discuss the long term aims.


October Meeting
===============

At our next meeting on Monday 15th October we are delighted to have
Paul Fellows as our guest speaker. Paul was the project leader of
the Arthur/RISC OS development team at Acorn. He will tell us how
that came about and what happened to the ARX operating system,
amongst other tales from the early days of our favourite OS.

The usual arrangements
======================

Admittance is free and everyone is welcome. A range of hot and cold
food, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, will be on sale.

Anyone with wireless enabled handhelds or laptops can access the
internet during the meeting, or (if time allows) use ROUGOL's
RiscPC to do so after the main presentation has finished.

The venue is between London Bridge and Borough tube stations, so
readily accessible by public transport (both stations are a five
minute walk away, through well lit and CCTV'd main streets). It
also has ample cycle parking (covered by CCTV) very close by.

If you are arriving by car, the Congestion Charge ends at 6pm and
our meeting starts much later. However, please note that parking
on double red lines is restricted at all times. On single red or
yellow lines it is best to park after 7pm. If you are not familiar
with *central* London parking or driving, please allow extra time,
patience, and maps.

If you need any help reaching the venue, or any other information,
please contact us as below.
