The conference will be held in an +old abbey, Rolduc, near the city of Kerkrade. + +Participants will be welcomed on Sunday evening the 23rd of September. +The conference proper will start on Monday and continue until +Wednesday. On Thursday courses and tutorials may be given. + +The theme of the conference is:=20 +\begin{center} + \TeX\ and Meta\\ + the Good, the Bad and the Ugly Bits +\end{center} + +So, what are "Good, Bad and Ugly Bits"? Traditionally we tend to focus +on Good Bits because they are so rewarding. It feels good to see a +beautifully typeset document that you were able to produce using all +the power that \TeX\ and Metafont/MetaPost provide. We try to forget +how many Bad Bits we had to overcome, and are proud that we found more +or less elegant ways to program around them. Nevertheless, some of +these difficulties should be regarded as Ugly Bits that would not +exist in an ideal world. + +What can we do?=20 + +First of all, keep up the Good Bits and extend them if possible. +Analyze the Bad Bits, learn from them, and find easy and generic ways +to get around them. Find the Ugly Bits and eradicate them! + +Let's make progress! Of course we need a lot of discussion to +distinguish between Good, Bad and Ugly, and about ways to deal with +them. We invite you all to demonstrate either of these bits. Feel free +to present your application (Good, not Bad or Ugly) at the conference! + +At this conference we would like to take a new view on contributions. +\begin{itemize} +\item Of course we welcome a presentation accompanied by a written +paper, as usual. +\item But does it bother you to write a paper, or does your +contribution seem fit for an interesting presentation but not for a +written paper? We will welcome the presentation equally much, and do +with only a short summary on paper or even entirely without the paper +work. +\item Or do you find yourself in the opposite situation: You would +like to clarify your new package or other work extensively on paper +but believe that it would be unsuitable to cover it equally +extensively in an oral presentation? Feel free to let us have your +paper and at the conference present only the highlights. +\item Or do you believe your ideas only warrant a short presentation +without a paper? It is equally welcome. +\end{itemize} + +We do expect from each contributor a \emph{short summary} of the +proposed contribution. This summary will inform the Program Committee +of your plan. And at the conference it will be the introduction to +your contribution, or your complete contribution if that is what you +propose. + +We invite you to submit your proposal for a contribution to the +conference. You can send it by email to \euromail. +If you have no access to e-mail you can send your contribution to: +\begin{flushleft} + Euro\TeX\ 2001 program committee\\ + Spuiboulevard 269\\ + 3311 GP Dordrecht\\ + The Netherlands. +\end{flushleft} +In such a case we would ask you to submit your paper in electronic +form on a floppy disk. + +We are working with the following time schedule: + +\begin{center} + \begin{tabular}{ll} + may 10 & deadline for receiving proposals\\ + june 10 & deadline for receiving full draft papers\\ + july 11 & end of review\\ + august 11 & deadline for receiving final, reviewed papers\\ + \end{tabular} +\end{center} + +An up-to-date list of contributions as well as more information about +the conference can be found at \euroweb. + +\end{document} + +------_=_NextPart_000_01C0C18B.4A80B41C-- + +---------- + +Message: 5 +From: Mimi Burbank <mimi@csit.fsu.edu> +Subject: TUGboat 21:3 (TUG 2000 Proceedings Issue) shipped today +To: tug-board@tug.org, tub-prod@mimirh.csit.fsu.edu, office@tug.org, +texhax@tex.ac.uk, tex-eds@nic.surfnet.nl, tug-pub@tug.org +Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2001 15:43:12 -0400 (EDT) + +I'm glad to announce 160 pages were shipped to the printer today. +We are very late, deeply apologetic, and hopeful of getting the +next three issues "out the door" as soon as possible. + +Enclosed are the contents of the issue: + + TUGboat + Volume 21, Number 3 / September 2000 + ==================================== + +Editorial Comments 155 + Robin Fairbairns +TUG 2000 Program 157 + +Talks + Benjamin Bayart + The description language chosen for FDNTeX 159 + Barbara Beeton + Unicode and math, a combination whose time has come -- Finally! 176 + Alexander Berdnikov, Yury Yarmola, Olga Lapko, and Andrew Janishewsky + Some experience in converting LH Fonts from MF + to Type1 format [Abstract] 186 + Wlodek Bzyl + Typesetting TeX documents containing computer code 187 + David Carlisle + XMLTEX: A non validating (and not 100% conforming) + namespace aware XML parser implemented in TeX 193 + Donald DeLand + Developing interactive, Web-based courseware [Abstract] 200 + Michael Downes + The amsrefs LaTeX package and the amsxport BibTeX style 201 + Jonathan Fine + Line breaking and page breaking 210 + Michel Goossens and Sebastian Rahtz + PassiveTeX: from XML to PDF 222 + Pedro Palao Gostanza + Fast scanners and self-parsing in TeX 235 + Hirotsugu Kakugawa + A device-independent DVI interpreter library + for various output devices 243 + M.
