The style +of the meeting was informal, with participants asking questions +as they needed to. + +After lunch (which was worth the visit), Dominik was the main +presenter, talking about printer drivers and also explaining +the new virtual fonts introduced at \TeX 3. + +The workshop was attended by 17 people, which was the right +sort of size for this kind of meeting. As well as learning from +the `formal' sessions, I think that a lot of information was +usefully exchanged during the breaks. + +As well as the usual thanks, I feel that a mention must be made +of the RHBNC orchestra, the sounds of whose end-of-term concert +provided background music for much of the day. +\author{Carol Hewlett} |
