4th International ConTEXt Meeting
The fourth ConTEXt meeting will take place in Brejlov (Prague), Czech Republic on
September 13–18, 2010
CSTUG invites you to join the 4th ConTeXt meeting. The meeting will host ConTeXt and LuaTeX developers and users and gives you the opportunity to present your results, experiences and ideas on future development. The talks will be followed-up by tutorials on different ConTeXt and LuaTeX techniques.
ConTeXt meeting will be followed by TeXperience 2010 (an annual CSTUG conference) on September 17–19, 2010 at the same place. You are welcome to stay longer and join this event, too.
Hot news
Frans couldn't resist the temptation and has visited the place in advance. He put some nice photos on his website and he says in his emails:
We have arrived this afternoon and the trout we had for dinner was delicious. The dessert was absolutely delicious today: vanilla ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream. The Brejlov house seems a splendid island of modern times and friendliness in a region where time has moved slower ;-) I'm sure the house will be a great place to be and hang around with the group next month. Frans, August 3, 2010
Frans also sent us two maps. One tourist (3MB) with color tourist routes (you can find the on-line version on location page) and one with the historical monuments (4MB).
Call for submissions
 | As in previous years, anything at all related to ConTeXt that you would like to share is an acceptable subject for a presentation, tutorial, discussion, Q&A session, demonstration, workshop, recital, sketch, or sermon.
That said, this year Hans and Taco decided that it would be wise to focus a bit on documentation issues. The informal theme is therefore: ConTeXt typesetting documentation, teach as we preach It follows that if you have something to say on educating users on how to best use ConTeXt or to developers on how to best document ConTeXt (and who doesn't have an opinion on those topics!) your submission will be all the more appreciated. The programme committee is Hans Hagen and Taco Hoekwater, feel free to email them with hints and ideas. Because we want something interesting on the website, abstracts should be sent in before May 31 or even now, before opening the registration. |
