Hi,

sorry, the previous mail was for the ntg board, a request for 
sponsoring; anyway, it does not hurt to know of sponsoring needs -)

for those who use tex commercially, at the tug page you can find a form 
for sponsoring tex activities -)

Hi,

The previous mail was actually for the ntg board but let's summarize it ..

- i was at the dante meeting: interesting (also socially) but less 
attendents than usual (45) ... a pattern that is seen with more user 
group meetings ... user groups meetings are important  for discussing 
dev issues, distributions, tutorials, etc

- mplib project ... this is a new activity (subproject) in the luatex 
project ... programming in the the luatex project is financed as part of 
the oriental tex project; the mp lib project has a budget of 12KEUR and 
Dante is funding half of it; other user groups will be asked for a 
contribution too ... of course any financing of such activities is welcome

- there was also a presentation of the gyre project ... halfway this 
year we will have all 8 fonts of the first stage ... after that ... math

- dante members will receive Hermann Zapfs new book (looks real nice) .. 
so if you're not a member ... bad luck

- there was a nice and impressing talk by Richard Hirsh about mpost; 
will end up as article in user group journals; some great animations too 
(will probably on line at dante site)

- so ... consider coming to user group meetings
