Hackaday has regular challenges, entries for which get featured on their site. The most recent is a retocomputing challenge, which is not just about resurrecting old hardware but also has a 'Moden Retro' category. So if anyone has an AROS project planned this could give great exposure. Plese see https://hackaday.com/2026/08/18/announcing-the-2026-hackaday-retrocomputing-challenge/#more-1139076; closing date is 27.10.26.

Cheers,
Nigel.

P.S. I'm hoping to turn my ACER Aspire laptop (the one that's just got working USCool into a large format AROS touchscreen tablet. The keyboard has an electrical fault so nothing lost in bolting the screen directly onto the base to give a better form-factor for writing on, and certainly more space to expand into than the screen on my Samsung netbook. I'll need it too as this year I'll be teaching Physics in a room with a projector but without a normal whiteboard, let alone a smartboard. Anyway, if I can get this going I'll dcoument it for the Challenge.

Sounds interesting @ntromans

I just had a brief read. I assume this challange and the site in general is more about hardware, not software? So just running a retro-oriented distribution as AROS.games on a PC would not fit it, but if you put that PC into a A1200 "shell" then this could be included?
