Thanks Thierry!  And thanks (again) for bringing TeX to Plan 9, and giving
us a good walkthrough of the system.  So good to put a face to your name
and get a chance to chat some!

Thanks to the organisers (also) for streaming the event: although I
live close to Paris, I could not attend, but have now found the time
to watch some of the presentations.

Thierry, last year I had not seen an announcement of, and then missed,
your talk in Paris at the 'Journée GUTenberg' at the ENS,  which I
regret. So I'm all the more glad that you gave a talk at this IWP9.

Mark.

I concur. Thank you so much por all the work (which I have personally
benefitted from). The presentation was fine and conveyed a lot of
interesting information.

But you are fortunate enough to understand french: that is probably a
very great help when trying to understand my english ;-) I think that
if I'm inclined towards TeX it's because I'm more a written stuff guy
than someone comfortable with speaking...
