RISC OS Open Ltd. (also referred to as ROOL)[1][2] is a limited company engaged in computer software and IT consulting.

[8][9] ROOL set initial goals to make the source code easily available (on the web), and also to establish a wiki, forum and bug tracker.

[13] Attendance at RISC OS computer shows is often arranged, with other knowledgeable coders sometimes standing in when ROOL staff are unavailable.

Developers can seek technical assistance with writing software, debugging, and porting the operating system to new hardware.

A common area exists to make announcements that are broadly related to the theme of RISC OS, and discussion of future wish list features or applications.
