• Developers' fireside chat - 12th October

    From Vince M Hudd@21:1/5 to All on Fri Oct 11 21:08:02 2024
    Tomorrow - 12th October - is the next opportunity for anyone with an
    interest in RISC OS and software development to gather together in front
    of the virtual fire for an informal chat.

    These meetings, which take place more or less monthly using the Zoom video conferencing system, are a way for people with that interest to get
    together and discuss anything related to programming on and for RISC OS.

    There is no preset agenda for these meetings, and no speaker arranged
    ahead of time. Instead, their informal nature means participants can steer
    the topic - so a beginner (or even someone experienced) with a problem can
    ask for help and advice from others present, programming tools can be demonstrated, early edits of how-to videos may get shown, and so on.

    That means there is no specific level of programming expertise required to
    join the meeting - you can be that hypothetical beginner (or expert) with
    a problem to be resolved, you might be the person developing that tool
    other programmers might find useful, and so on; anyone and everyone is
    welcome; all that matters is that you have an interest in RISC OS and
    software development on or for the platform.

    You will also need to be able to run the Zoom software - which is
    available for most mainstream platforms from https://zoom.us - along with
    the meeting credentials. You'll have these if you've joined these
    developer meetings previously, but if not there are a few ways to get
    them:

    * You can contact Andrew McCarthy on Twitter at https://twitter.com/
    ArmBytes or Mastodon at https://mastodon.online/@armbytes - or indeed from
    your RISC OS computer using ChatCube.

    * Or you can contact me here in the RISCOSitory bunker by replying by
    email to this message. Please note, though, that any emails sent to me on
    the day of the meeting itself will not receive a reply until very close to
    the meeting's start time!
