With December fast approaching, the
RISC OS [4] Ltd. RISC OS Roadshow becomes ever closer.
RISC OS Ltd. have gathered all the exibitor details and have been able to release the details who who's attending which venues. Although there is a slight regional variation, many exibitors are attending 2 or more of the venues.
First up,
RISCOS Ltd. themselves.
RISC OS Ltd. [5] will be at all three events (to be expected really) and will be showing off the latest developments of the
RISC OS [6] Select scheme as well as presenting special offers on Adjust ROMs and Foundation RISC User DVD.
As some may have noticed, the Wakefield show dates over the past few years have sometimes proved difficult for RISC OS Ltd. to attend due to long standing committments and so the roadshow provides an opportunity for people in the north to come and see them without travelling too far.
Advantage 6 [7] / Stuart Tyrrell Developments [8] - being based in the North West, have confirmed their attendance at both the Birmingham and Manchester venues. On show, will be a few flavours of the A9 systems and other popular products such as the Unipod and A6 computers.
