Interested in an ARM-based laptop?

Although many of you may have already guessed based on my feverish ramblings earlier in the week, if you have any interest in an ARM-based, RISC OS laptop (it’s been soooo long since the A4!) you might want to drop by the RCI stand at the London Show on Saturday.

And for once, I promise you it’s not just a dev-board (pi/imx/panda etc) in a box.

A real live not emulator on a Linux build RO laptop? Chrome RObook

No emulation in sight.

What about a phone in the future? I saw an interesting linux based phone on the drawing board recently.

Even more reasons to come to the London Show, which is tomorrow!

It’s a pity that there isn’t a ‘IRC’ connection being run from the London Show.

ie :-for one reason or another can’t get to the Show :-(

What is IRC? Infra-red cable? Instantaneous Real-time Composite-video?

What is IRC?

Prof that the RISC OS community is stuck in the ’90s.

Does the venue offer WiFi? [if not, why not?]

Does anybody have a decent smartphone made in the last five years?

If so, then it’ll be capable of livestreaming directly to YouTube…

‘Internet Relay Chat’

But as Rick hints – what about using the computers?

Video links from/to Show for Programs Authors who can’t make the show.

(Remote Bow Tie?)
(ProCAD+)
(Impression)
etc

[Edit 1]

(Rick’s master class?)

Can’t someone livestream from the show?. It could be done with a phone.

Or from a Pinebook?

Nobody is livestreaming an event from a notebook.

London show is too far away for me to visit but I would be very interested in a live stream.

I would be very interested in a live stream.

I think this would be a very good idea. If RISC OS wants to appeal to more users, it needs to give them the excitement and emotion that other Brands do when announcing their wares to the end consumers.
Live streams and minute-by-minute blog updates are all pretty normal stuff these days.

Pretty much every tech website do this at announcements these days. theVerge, gizmondo, anandtech, etc, etc…
And for users on the other side of the world such as myself, we would love a live stream, either by twitch or youtube. Does not have to be RISC OS compatible.

Sponsor? You’re kidding, right?

Just run the YouTube app on a mobile phone, use the “Go live” option ¹, and punt all the data through the venue’s WiFi. Then all you need is a backup battery and a USB lead in your pocket, and the phone in your hands…

Here’s a boring one I just did (short because using 3G, boring ‘cos I can’t be bothered asking people for permission to record them). It was literally go to the YouTube app, tell it to record, tell it you want it live, give it a thumbnail and title, then Go Live…

¹ The YouTube account needs to be approved for live streaming. As far as I can determine, this means you need to be considered responsible (no strikes, no being a dick, etc). I enabled my account ages ago by ticking the box and YouTube accepted it…

I think I spotted a floor in this plan.

I know – coat.

@ Rick

How long do you want the live streaming to last?

Just the presentations?

The whole show?

Just till the person who is holding the phone gets tired?

Given the whole show is something like six hours (more if setting up teasers are included), I think we can give that idea a miss. ;-)

I would imagine the logical thing would be the presentations and also a walk around the floor to meet and talk to the exhibitors who aren’t doing presentations (they count too!). Get a feel of the show, you know?

My personal opinion here would be to try out the walk and meet to see how it works (note that YouTube can include some sort of live chat during videos so it may be interactive (I’ve never tried this)), and consider the presentations (or at least The Big One) if it all goes well and the software behaves. The reason I say this is because somebody records and uploads the presentations, so the “live” could be in test status this year, to see how it works in practice (especially if there are any WiFi weak spots). I say this because, well, there’s not a whole lot of preparation time if anybody is willing to do this.

I think I spotted a floor in this plan.

Thank you Fred. You’re my one view. :-)

If there’s no live stream, could the person with the video camera (Vince, is that you?) please pass by Riscy Robots? That sounds like the sort of thing that would appeal to my inner geek.

BTW, the London show URL redirects to talk TalkTalk with a “we’re closing down this stuff” message, and trying to continue throws up a 403 Forbidden.

By which Rick means the Riscy Robots link that’s on the London Show website.

Sponsor?

It’s all the rage these days

If only there was some way I could indicate that, maybe next time.

;-)

Meanwhile back in reality, the talks are being recorded and will likely be online within 24 hours.

I realise this thread is indicative of people’s enthusiasm that there is something happening, which is nice, and that they might miss out by not being there, which is indicative that various companies need to be a lot lot better at actually updating their online presence with updates.

Thanks for making the effort to do that, Peter. :-)

I should say that I’m not the one doing it, I’m just in contact with the person who is!

Due to manning a stand during the show, I, like many people will get to find out what was said by watching the videos afterwards.
