Saturday, 7th February offers people involved or interested in software development for RISC OS the opportunity to once again to meet up online
and discuss the issues and problems they face, seek help, offer advice, demonstrate what they?re working on, or just generally chat about the
things programmers like to chat about.

The meetings take place using the Zoom video conferencing software - https://zoom.us/ - which is available for most platforms. They are wholly informal and don?t follow a set agenda ? those present steer the
conversation as the evening progresses ? and as an example, at the last
such meeting topics included:

* The speed of compiling code on some modern RISC OS machines.

* Gerph?s ?live coding? sessions on YouTube (which take place on Sunday?s
from around 1pm).

* Tokenisation oddities with third party software handling BBC BASIC
files.

* Issues in the BBC BASIC assembler when dealing with VFP and Neon ? and
from that, some general discussion of ARM instruction sets.
Some of the new features found in the not yet released NemoBASIC.

The meetings are open to anyone, regardless of their programming prowess -
you could be someone with no programming experience looking for advice on where to begin and what tools to use, an expert with many years of
development behind you, or anything between the two extremes; all are
welcome.

To join the meeting, you will need a platform on which Zoom can be run,
along with the meeting credentials. If you've joined a previous fireside
chat, those credentials remain unchanged, but if not you can get them via
one of these routes:

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

Or you can send a message to me here in the RISCOSitory bunker (by
replying to this message via email). 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!

If you can't wait until the next meeting to discuss RISC OS development
issues with others, or want to continue a discussion started at the
meeting, there is also now a Discord discussion forum - The RISC OS
Coding Community, which can be joined at:
