Five years sonce he first revealed RISC OS Pyromaniac at ROUGOL, and four years since his last presentation, Gerph will be returning to talk about
some of the things that have been involved in Pyromaniac's recent (last
couple of years) developments, and where that's taken things. The work
towards building components in C, development environments and testing
what's being done will be covered.

He will also be doing a few small demonstrations, and a lot of describing
what he's doing and why, and hoping for people to also get involved.


Christmas ONLINE meeting
========================

In a break with tradition, there is a December meeting this year!

We will be joined by Rob Napier, who will be Zooming in from Melbourne.
Rob worked for the Acorn division of Barson Computers in Australia during
the 80s. He is writing the authorised biography of Acorn Computers,
charting the story from the early days of Cambridge Processor Unit through
to Acorn's rise and transition to ARM and Element 14.

He has been busy chatting to all his old colleagues including Hermann
Hauser, Chris Curry, Andy Hopper, Steve Furber, Sophie Wilson, Chris
Turner, Brian Cockburn, and many others. He has got all the behind the
scenes gossip and collected hundreds of pages of previously confidential information, some of which he will be sharing with us!

Note that because the pub is always very busy around Christmas, this will
be an ONLINE ONLY meeting. Join us on Zoom on Monday 15th December.


Directions to the venue by car (there is parking directly outside the pub
on Coral Street) and public transport (recommended!) are on the website:
