Here are my notes from the talks. Any mistakes or omissions are mine.
 
11.30 CJE Micro's
in addition to finishing his house, Chris has lots of RISC OS related stuff to share. Not actively involved but very supportive of license changes. CJE not planning to fork the OS. Mentions of lots of items:-
Interface to use USB mouse with old Archimedes machines.
Econet box which can create a small network for you.
New IDE interfaces for A3000 range machines. You can now use compact flash or SD cards. Also offers a neat way to add a new real-time clock if needed.
PiTop 2 available and running RISC OS. Better keyboard and screen. Good battery life
Hdmi 7inch and 10inch small monitors
More ports for pi zero

12.00 Sine Nomine
Since last year's big launch with contours. Data now available for much of Europe. Demo using Swiss data. Data from NASA released into public domain.
Contour display can be toggled and also configurable (ie range between each contour displayed).
Hillary has been very busy on style editor. Can highlight features from key on map and toggle what is displayed. Will be further enhancements in new releases (ie make it easy to set style on items not shown on map).
Increasing support for Internet services. Flickr now available and others being worked on. Helped by bounties for new modules resulting in new SSL support in RISC OS.
Update from last version to latest is 5 pounds.
 
14.00 RISC OS Developments
RISC OS has bought Castle IP and releasing software under Apache Open Source license.
Anyone can now use without any commercial restrictions and limits. Aim to increase usage. Already interest from taiwanese company as a result.
RISC OS developments have hired a marketing specialist to promote news.
Richard also revealed secret project from last year was to create a modern browser for RISC OS. Money has been raised. Delay on finding a programmer. None of the money raised for the Browser went on purchasing RISC OS. Browser will not run on Iyonix and older machines.
