Context user meeting: 25-26 March 2007

[Taco Hoekwater]

This link should not need much introduction anymore:

    http://context.aanhet.net/epen2007/index.htm

In a week or so, I will also forward this annoucement to
a few other TeX-related lists and newsgroups.

Cheers, Taco

(Just for curiosity)
Will there be presentations? Or will it be totally unformal?

(uhm, I'd like to come).

Ummm... According to my calendar, in *2007*, March 25 is a Sunday and
March 26 is a Monday while the meeting program talks about Sat-Sun.

Looking at the meeting programme, maybe your intention is to have the
meeting from Friday, March 23 to Sunday March 25, 2007?


Just checking, it'll be a while before I get as far as to booking
flights...

Hi Andrea,

There will definately be presentations (on this user meeting
that, incidentally, will take place on the 24th and 25th of
March 2007, _not_ a day later ... :-/ ).

That reminds me: we are hoping you'll be willing
to do a presentation of your music typesetting :-)

Please fill in the web form a.s.a.p. if you are already
certain that you will definately attend. The registration
officially closes on the 1st of march, but we have only
limited room available so the meeting may be booked full
before that date (I already have received the first two
registrations).

Greetings, taco

Ciao Taco,

I'm always thinking about writing down some notes. I think I can do it 
in July. Two days later I presented some considerations on algorithmic 
composition and automatic notation in our internal seminar, showing the 
ConTeXt+LilyPond connection. I will put soon some (125..) slides on 
line, but they're in Italian.

I would have already subscribed  to the meeting if it were not in the 
exact day (24) of the second birthday of my daughter....So, now I'm 
tinkering about a solution :-)
