We hope everyone is ready for an end-of-year break – we certainly are. RISC OS Open is planning to shut down over the holidays from Sat 22nd Dec 2012 to Sun 6th Jan 2013 inclusive. We may still keep an eye on emails and the site but cannot guarantee anything!
Please also note that any orders or other enquiries placed over this period will probably not be dealt with until we return.
See you all in the New Year!

Over the years traffic to the ROOL web site steadily increased as news of the project gently spread out from the core RISC OS crowd to a wider audience. As more and more of the OS became available, our site page hits gradually increased, along with the amount of data we sent out (bandwidth used) each month.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Raspberry Pi release created a big spike in traffic. We fell just slightly short of 2 million hits in November 2012, with over 115GiB of data sent out. In the whole year of 2011 we reached 5.5M hits and 160GiB data; the October and November 2012 data total exceeds all of 2011 and the hit count is already at over ten million for the year, with most of December still to come.

RISC OS Open are happy to be attending the Beeb@30 celebrations at the ARM offices in Cambridge this Sunday 25th March.
This event will include guests such as key members of the Acorn Computers team who created the original BBC Micro, Chris Serle (the presented of the BBC’s “The Computer Programme”) and Eben Upton from the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
Steve Revill and Ben Avison, both formerly employees of Acorn Computers, will be going along to join the celebrations, meet some old friends and spread the message about RISC OS Open. :)
Tickets are still available here (for a limited time only).

The RISC OS Open team will be taking a long-overdue break for the festive season from the 22nd December to the 2nd January (inclusive). During that period, we will not be responding to email enquiries or processing orders, but will catch up again when we’re back.
Have a happy Christmas and here’s to a prosperous New Year!
