As a continuation of the move towards the opening up of RISC OS sources, RISC OS Open Ltd (ROOL) have today been officially authorised by Castle Technology Ltd (owners of RISC OS) to take over the Allocations system previously run by Alan Glover.

Those wishing for an official RISC OS allocation should visit the allocations page on our website where there is more information and where allocations can be initiated.

Forum down

Posted by Andrew Hodgkinson Tue, 13 Feb 2007 08:48:48 GMT

The recent Rails upgrade has taken out the forum section, despite it being frozen. That means it keeps running on an older version of Rails, so in theory it should be running perfectly…

This will take a while to fix. In the mean time, the rest of the site is running fine. If you see any problems, please lodge a fault in the bugs database or discuss it with comments on this news article. Thanks! :-)

Site maintenance: Rails upgrade

Posted by Andrew Hodgkinson Wed, 24 Jan 2007 21:53:00 GMT

This site runs almost entirely on the Ruby On Rails framework. Rails version 1.2 was recently released and our web host will be upgrading to this shortly. I will endeavour to minimise disruption during the upgrade but you may notice things running a little slowly for a while and might find yourself unexpectedly logged out of a live session because of server restarts.

Official new site announcement

Posted by Andrew Hodgkinson Tue, 19 Dec 2006 18:16:00 GMT

RISC OS Open are pleased to announce that their new web site has now gone
live. This site replaces the ‘static’ site which went public back in
September and has lots of facilities which we hope the RISC OS community will
find useful and interesting.

We’ve been working on this site in our (primarily Andrew’s) spare time so
thanks to everyone for your support and patience, especially those who have
been beta testing the new site for us.
