Call for submissions
The theme for this meeting is,
Focussing
Typesetting as we do with ConTeXt is pretty much related to printing or its equivalent rendering on a digital medium. Therefore several (overlapping) aspects come to mind (feel free to come up with more):
- artistics
- creativity
- messaging
- structure
- personality
- necessity
- satisfaction
In order to position, stabilise, future proof and support a macro package like ConTeXt, including the tools needed, most prominently the LuaMetaTeX engine, we need to stay focussed. Although one can perfectly well do a lot more and embed (hide) in workflows that are often less typographic demanding, eventually the more clever, interesting and neat features in ConTeXt relate to the aspects mentioned.
We don’t need to follow the fashion in order to do so, or do we? In addition to the usual wide range of topics possible, we’d like to hear opinions on this. After all, it’s the creative, inspiring and friendly user base that keep the efforts going.
as in previous years, anything at all related to ConTEXt & LuaMetaTEX that you would like to share as a presentation, tutorial, discussion, Q&A session, demonstration, workshop, recital, sketch, or sermon.
The program committee is Hans Hagen and Taco Hoekwater, feel free to email them with hints and ideas.
