Fwd: [dante-ev] Kooperation mit der PDF Association

Fwd: [dante-ev] Kooperation mit der PDF Association

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Hello ConTeXt group activists!

DANTE just became a partner organization of PDF association, see message below.
Wouldn’t it make sense for our group (and NTG and TUG etc.) to do the same?

Best regards,
Hraban

I suppose that Dante, the largest tex user group being around, being a 
member of that group means that the rest of the user groups can save 
themselves the trouble and money ... for the few users who need that 
kind of info (and we can assume that all standard related pdf stuff is 
public anyway) it's cheaper to become member of dante (in fact, being 
member of a few tex user groups costs less than an individual membership 
of the association). Afaik that was the idea behind Dante being related.

Hans

The website says:
    "Non-profit organizations can become members without charge as
Partner Organizations."

So maybe the ConTeXt Group could indeed apply for membership?

If we would have to pay the fee, there is no way we could afford it anyway.

I suppose that it is fine that Dante is a member of that association. We will lift on their possibilities to fetch info and being involved with it. I think, that the ConTeXt group as such has little to profit from a membership…

Best wishes

Also the PDFA is mostly german. And any TeX developer who wants to work on
PDF standardisation with the PDFA is welcome, even if (s)he is not a member
of DANTE.
