ROOL wins Drobe Award

Posted by Steve Revill Tue, 22 Jan 2008 03:22:00 GMT

The guys at RISC OS Open are very humble and happy to find that we have received a coverted Drobe award (our second one). This year’s award is in the category of “Best show of initiative”.

It’s been hard work for us all to find any time over the Christmas period but we’re all looking forward to getting started on the next batch of RISC OS sources to release sometime soon.

The full awards news article can be found on the Drobe.
web site.

On Saturday 20th October, the team from RISC OS Open will be attending the South East Show at Guildford College.

We are aiming to have our next batch of RISC OS sources released in time for the show. This will include more of the ‘core’ components such as the Printing System, Window Manager, Toolbox suite and the Font Manager.

ROOL "Mats for Code" Offer

Posted by Steve Revill Tue, 26 Jun 2007 12:40:00 GMT

RISC OS Open are offering a free “Map of the RISC OS community” mouse mat and double matching coaster set to all of the first one hundred people who submit useful changes to the released RISC OS sources.

The mat and coaster sets would normally retail at £6.20 but we’re going to give them away for free (we’ll even pay the postage and packing) to everyone who submits code to us.

CVS access now available

Posted by Ben Avison Fri, 01 Jun 2007 15:30:00 GMT

We have now opened up access to the CVS repository for the sources previously released in the Batch One source and patch tarballs. This means that for the first time, you now have access to the full changelogs for those components, and you can retrieve old versions back to those present in RISC OS 3.60.
