   Well done guys, 10 years ago I couldn’t have dreamed of being able to use RISC OS on a pandaboard after iyonix shut up shop

   Got to be the best thing that has happened to Risc OS, so here to the next ten happy birthday. I would like to say thanks Castle for allowing it to happen,thanks for all the great work Risc OS Open & Co.

   I’d agree with that. Certainly the best thing ever. Better than RISC OS 3!

   What has been delivered is amazing, as is the potential for the future.

   I have to admit I was sceptical when the open-sourcing of RISC OS was announced.

   But when I saw RISC OS 5 running for the first time on my BeagleBoard, my sceptic mood changed into an enthusiastic mood.

   Well done! Thanks to all people involved, especially Jeffrey.

   Happy Birthday and well done.

   I wonder if a small celebration case should be released. Perhaps, something similar to the Kodi box for the Pi.

   I think everyone involved should get a day off, but just one!

   Seriously though, the improvement to RISC OS is huge. It’s a lot more robust that it ever was the breadth of devices it can run on is greater than it ever was under Acorn’s control.

   I doff my hat to all involved.

   • Happy birthday *

   I just have to say thank you, to all the people who had made this possible.

   I remember the sad moment of the demise of Acorn. And i never believed that RISC OS will survive, even i prayed, that it will.

    Thanks so much to everyone for making (and continuing to make) this happen! Many happy returns to RISC OS Open, its contributors and supporters.

    As a later comer to the RISC OS scene and only just beginning to understand the history of RISC 5, congratulations to everyone at ROOL and all the hard working volunteer developers. Looking forward to the next ten years. :-)
