Greetings TUG members - a short news update for the beginning of May.

This year's election for TUG president continues for one more week,
through May 11.  There are two nominees: Kaveh Bazargan and Jim
Hefferon.  For the candidates' statements and other information, please

If you haven't voted already, please do!  The ballot is available in the
TUG members' area, https://www.tug.org/members.  If you don't have your
TUG username and/or password, or it's not working, just reply to this
mail or otherwise contact us.


Conferences: the TUG'15 meeting will be held in Darmstadt, Germany,
20-22 July.  Please see http://tug.org/tug2015 for the call for papers,
registration form, hotel information, and more.  Several slots remain
available for talks, so if you have any interest in making a
presentation, don't hesitate -- submissions are most welcome.
Registering as a participant is also very welcome, of course!

The ConTeXt 2015 meeting (http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2015/) will
