A new issue of Qercus hot off the press was on sale at the show. It includes a review of the A9home.

While the A9home mini was a fake, Ad6 have squeezed a their ARM9 powered machine into an LCD monitor. Ad6 seem up for making these provided they find a company to partner with to build them.

Archive's editor has been having fun proof reading and editing journals and other publications. The quantum physics went way over this hack's head.

Hermes will have its RSS processor overhauled and updated at some point to report status and errors of feeds being fetched. Grapevine will need to support a complete new protocol of MSN to support features such as nudge and winking and user images, but its developer said web cam support could be interesting.

Soft Rock Software is working on a 32bit WebChange, and also a free straight forward graphical text adventure game.

Don't forget the 'fringe meeting' between users at 2pm at the bar. A group of users hope to chat about encouraging the development of software.

The first batch of the source code is available, the second batch will be released in piecemeal, and the licence can also be tweaked in future.

Posted by Team Drobe
The RISC OS Open licence was agreed on Monday night, and the team say they have spent the week putting together the sources. The main headache and delay in getting the release of batch one together has been the total lack of licencing papertrail since the days of Acorn. It is not always clear who owns what and under what agreement source was contributed to the ROS source base.

RISC OS Open have a couple of ARM powered STBs that run RISC OS 5, they were manufactured within the past 18 and 24 months and are deployed in North America. They are Pace branded and process MPEG-based IPTV. One has six ARM920T cores.

The A9home mini is a small white box about the size of a couple match boxes with a monitor lead out, and that's it. It's otherwise featureless.

The show organisers are scurrying around putting together the final touches to their stands. NetSurf people have CDs of Version 1.0. AdvantageSix have an A9home mini demo. It won't be on sale. In fact, it's empty box. There's a general positive buzz in the hall.
