Dear TeXers,

Summer is the time of vacations and conferences.  I am sorry for the
late newsletter, but I just returned from a conference myself.

The program for our main conference, TUG 2019 (in Palo Alto, California,
August 9-11), looks very interesting:
  https://tug.org/tug2019/program.html
Please register for the conference if you'd like to attend and haven't
already:
  https://tug.org/tug2019/register.html
We'd be most happy to have you.

There are openings at the conference workshops,
https://tug.org/tug2019/workshops.html. The number of participants at
the LaTeX workshop is limited; please reserve your place if you wish to
attend!

A couple of events are planned for the fall:  13th International
