conferences, Alan Jeffrey


Hello TUG members - welcome to $\sum_{n=1}^9 n^3$ !

The 2024 version of the Great Tikzlings Christmas Extravaganza is
available for viewing in the new year :). It presents mariachi marmots
and flower power in San Francisco, has a look at the upcoming TUG Annual
Conference 2025, reports on the LaTeX tagging project, takes a photo at
a well known location, discovers the hitherto unknown Batb\"ar, and
contains many other Christmas surprises:
