[tex-announce] Jan 2012 TUG news: group memberships, TUGboat, book review, conferences

[TeX Users Group]

Dear TeX users,

Happy 2012 to all TeX users (and everybody else, though they're not 
likely to be reading this)!  

This year, TUG is offering a new membership category, called group
membership. It includes up to four individual memberships for $200 
(thus providing a discount), with electronic access for all four members
and one physical copy of TUGboat and software, as well as acknowledgment
online. This is perfect for small departments or research groups. 
http://tug.org/join.html has all the info.
 
More news:

- TUGboat 32:3 has shipped and should be in your mailbox. The deadline
   for the next issue is March 15. Articles on any aspect of TeX and friends
   are always welcomed.
