A difficult year for many of us. December celebrations coincide with the season of charitable giving; I hope you would not forget those who are now in the need of your help---especially those without power, heat and water. Among the most important news of the month for TUG is that the Board has decided to have an in-person meeting in 2023---the first one since the COVID pandemic started. The conference is scheduled for July 14 to July 16 (Fri-Sun), 2023, in Bonn, Germany. The preliminary information is at https://tug.org/tug2023/. We plan to include streaming and virtual options; the details will be published later. Many thanks to Gert Fischer, who is making this possible. 2023 is an election year. The rules and dates have been announced by the Election Committee and the notice and nomination form can be found at https://tug.org/election/. If you want to serve the community, this might be your opportunity. In the last newsletter I mentioned the new release of LaTeX. In November, Patch Level 1 was published by the LaTeX3 project. Two conferences took place in November: TeXConf 2022 (Japan) and the DANTE meeting 2022. In other news, History of Desktop Publishing by Frank Romano was awarded Honourable Mention by the Jury of the 18th ILAB Breslauer Prize for Bibliography. This book was reviewed for TUGboat by our late friend and TeXer Dave Walden, so it is a good occasion to reread his article: https://tug.org/books/reviews/tb127reviews-romano.html On a related front, just last month, Frank Romano had a conversation with famous type designer Matthew Carter at the Museum of Printing. It's available online (in three parts): https://youtube.com/@museumofprinting Also, the MoP is looking for additional YouTube subscribers, so if you're interested, please check them out -- lots of overlap between the MoP and various TeX/typographical topics. Their home page: https://museumofprinting.org/ New packages on CTAN in November: - crossrefenum, smart typesetting of enumerated cross-references for various TeX formats; - cvss, compute and display CVSS (vulnerability) base scores; - euler-math, OpenType version of Hermann Zapf's Euler math font; - hershey-mp, MetaPost support for the Hershey font file format; - hwemoji, Unicode emoji support for pdfLaTeX with sequences; - lgrmath, use LGR-encoded fonts in math mode; - luacas, a computer algebra system for users of LuaLaTeX; - songproj, generate Beamer slideshows with song lyrics; - unimath-plain-xetex, OpenType math support in (plain) XeTeX. Happy TeXing and best wishes for the holidays!
