Hi everybody,

an excellent year 2023 to all of you - I hesitate to say "it can only 
get better from 2022." That's what we thought last year, and boy were we 
wrong and did it get worse... Let's hope that this year will be more 
peaceful and less pandemic...

But to my topic: the official announcement for TUG 2023 is out. It will 
be in Bonn, Germany, in a building literally (literally!) just across 
the street from my university office. So I feel somewhat motivated to go 
and give a talk on ConTeXt and spread the word. Since I'm a simple user 
and no developer, I'm a bit hesitant though: is any of the developers 
going (Hans?)? Since the public will be 99 % LaTeX-centric: I had the 
idea of showing (off) how ConTeXt can typeset xml and produce different 
outputs from the same source (similar to what I've done in Bassenge in 
2019). Those of you who have been to TUG conferences before: would that 
be of interest even to people who know little to nothing about ConTeXt 
yet are familiar with other forms of TeX? I guess I just what to get a 
feeling what to expect at a TUG conference.

All best wishes

Thomas

The same to you!

I’m not a dev but I’ll be there.

I’ve never been to a TUG conference, but it’s also a DANTE conference, 
and I wouldn’t hesitate to talk about ConTeXt – your example is a good 
one to get people interested, I think.

I’ll probably show how I make our architectural guides for Bonn – I 
suggested to have a guided tour to one of the HICOG settlements (that 
were built for the American forces and their German employees) with the 
group that’s behind the guides (Werkstatt Baukultur Bonn).

Since I’ll be there on company time (I’m now working for my former main 
customer), I’ll probably also help presenting our LaTeX3-based 
documentation workflow.

Hraban

I think you need not be afraid there: there will be a decent amount of 
generic stuff and a good number of plain TeX experts, I suspect. Yes, 
LaTeX tends to be the most popular TeX flavour in the talks, but I think 
overall it's much more varied than you are imagining!

Joseph

Ha, you're not a simple user; you use all bits and pieces in advanced 
scenarios.

The only meeting in my agende is the ctx meeting later that year, so no 
plans. (Not knowing what to talk about at that meeting there would be 
little change of interference; we would likely end up sitting in your 
office discussing some pending inerestign and challenging mechanisms 
anyway -)

Interesting how near people can be ;-) I will have to go over the
bridge ...

You could look at previous TUG videos to get a feeling
https://www.youtube.com/@TeXUsersGroup/playlists but imho you
shouldn't worry.

The seventeenth ConTEXt meeting will take place in Prague–Sibřina,
Czech Republic on

September 10th–16th, 2023



Anyone who has not been to Sibřina is missing something!
(I say with likely regret, not expecting to be able to attend.)

Alan
