Dear TeX users,

- TUGboat: The first issue for 2011 will be TUGboat's 100th issue.
  Even though it is only a decimal anniversary :), we would
  like to solicit special contributions for the occasion --
  articles about the history and evolution of TeX and the
  TeX community would be especially welcome.  Of course, all
  the usual topics are welcome too.  Deadline is March 31.

  May 1, 2011.  For nomination forms and full info, see:

- Conferences:
  TUG 2011 will be held in Cairo, Egypt, most probably from
  November 14-17, and will include a planned excursion.
  Hossam Fahmy of Cairo University is the chief organizer.
  The web site will be updated when arrangements are finalized.
