About

This is the official website of the RISC OS Community on GitHub, an open-source community that actively supports the RISC OS operating system, originally developed by Acorn Computers Ltd, now owned by RISC OS Developments Ltd and maintained by RISC OS Open Ltd.

We are a completely non-profit group that uses and promotes RISC OS for fun and educational purposes only.
