[tex-announce] Sep24 news: Ukrainian libraries, TUG'25, TUGboat, meetings

[TeX Users Group]

Hello TeX users,

TUG is an organization devoted to book culture and industry. Thus the
recent Russian attacks on libraries and publishing houses in Ukraine and
the destruction of books are of special concern to us. The Board is
studying ways in which we can help and conducting talks with Ukrainian
and international organizations. Meanwhile, TUG members who want to help
might be interested in the program "Unbreakable libraries" by the
Ukrainian PEN organization, where one can donate books or funds to the
libraries on the frontline and liberated territories:

TUG 2025 will take place in Trivandrum, Kerala, India, hosted by
TeXFolio (thank you!). The dates will most likely be July 18-20; this
will be confirmed by next month, along with additional information on
the usual web page:

Videos for all the talks at TUG'24 in Prague have now been uploaded to
the TUG YouTube channel (thanks to Norbert Preining):
