Dear TeXers

We did it! We were able to conduct another online TUG meeting with many
interesting talks, and hundreds of participants,
https://tug.org/tug2022/. I would like to thank the many people who made
this possible. It required many hours of volunteer work to collect the
submissions, create the program, set up the Zoom and YouTube links,
conduct the sessions during the conference. Now volunteers are editing
and uploading the videos, and editing the proceedings. Many thanks to
Paulo Ney de Souza, Arthur Rosendahl, Barbara Beeton, Jennifer Claudio,
Jeremy Just, Karl Berry, Norbert Preining, Robin Laakso, Rohit Goswami,
Ross Moore, Will Robertson, who made all this possible. Thanks to our
sponsors (the list is at https://tug.org/tug2022/) for their support.
Thanks to our great speakers and all participants.

The videos will be available in our YouTube channel,
https://www.youtube.com/c/TeXUsersGroup, and the proceedings will be
published in TUGboat, https://tug.org/TUGboat/. The proceedings will
also contain a report of the Annual General Meeting that took place
during the conference.

We are now thinking about making the next TUG -- either (hopefully) a
hybrid one or an online meeting -- even better. Suggestions and help are
always welcome; please email the [email protected] mailing list if
you can offer.

Speaking of TUG business, we are approaching the election. The official
announcement of the Election Committee will be included in the TUGboat
proceedings issue, and released soon online:
https://tug.org/election/

Upcoming meetings: sadly, BachoTeX 2022 has been cancelled due to
another outbreak of COVID. At this moment we do not know about the
decision of the Organizing Committee for 16th ConTeXt Meeting in
Dreifelden, Germany, Sept. 12-18, 2022, but be alert for last minute 
changes:
https://meeting.contextgarden.net/2022/

In other news, Stefan Kottwitz published his collection of LaTeX
recipes earlier this year, https://latex-cookbook.net/. He also
offers a free upgrade to the owners of the first edition of his LaTeX
Beginner's Guide -- they can now ask for the second edition:

New CTAN packages in July:
- exam-zh, LaTeX template for Chinese exams;
- figput, create interactive figures in LaTeX;
- flexipage, flexible page geometry with marginalia;
- hfutthesis, LaTeX Thesis Template for Hefei University of Technology;
- kfupm-math-exam, a LaTeX document style to produce homework, quiz and
exam papers;
- lt3rawobjects, objects and proxies in LaTeX3;
- ndsu-thesis-2022, North Dakota State University dissertation class 2022;
- precattl, pretty-print token lists;
- rescansync, re-scan tokens with synctex information;
- saveenv, save environment content verbatim;
- scripture, a LaTeX style for typesetting Bible quotations;
- texlive-dummy-fedora, dummy TeX Live RPM for use with Fedora and
similar distributions;
- tikzfill, TikZ libraries for filling with images and patterns;
- tkzexample, package for the documentation of all tkz-* packages;
- wrapstuff, wrapping text around stuff;
- yfonts-otf, OpenType version of the Old German fonts designed by
Yannis Haralambous.

As I am writing this, there is unfortunate news about bombs, rockets and
artillery killing people in different parts of the world. I wish
everyone to have a good month and to wake up from the sound of an alarm
clock rather than air raid alarms.

Happy TeXing!

Boris Veytsman, TUG President
