<br>
August is behind us. The new school year has started in many schools and<br>
universities - probably a good time to introduce the joy of TeX to your<br>
students or classmates (<a href="https://tug.org/begin.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tug.org/begin.html</a>). Many new TeX users<br>
get acquainted with it in an academic environment, often through their<br>
teachers or peers.<br>
<br>
In that vein, the deadline for articles for the next regular issue of<br>
the TUGboat journal (<a href="https://tug.org/TUGboat" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tug.org/TUGboat</a>) is September 30. See<br>
<a href="https://tug.org/TUGboat/location.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tug.org/TUGboat/location.html</a> for author tips, an article<br>
template, and more. We look forward to all submissions.<br>
<br>
I am glad to report that one of the projects funded by our development<br>
fund is completed: Takuta Asakuro's llmk (The Light LaTeX Make,<br>
<a href="https://github.com/wtsnjp/llmk" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/wtsnjp/llmk</a>). Applications for the devfund are<br>
accepted at any time - there is no deadline. Please consult<br>
<a href="https://tug.org/tc/devfund/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tug.org/tc/devfund/</a> for details. On the other hand, if you want<br>
to help TeX-related development, but do not have time to spare, you may<br>
want to donate to the fund - or to the general TUG fund - at<br>
<a href="https://tug.org/donate.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tug.org/donate.html</a>.<br>
<br>
The next TeX events are the 13th ConTeXt Meeting in Belgium, September<br>
16-21 (<a href="https://meeting.contextgarden.net/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://meeting.contextgarden.net/</a>), and GuIT 2019, Turin,<br>
October 26 (<a href="https://www.guitex.org/home/meeting" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.guitex.org/home/meeting</a>). The latter is the<br>
${2^{2^2}}^\text{th}$ meeting of the Italian TeX Users group, celebrating<br>
Claudio Beccari's 80th birthday.<br>
<br>
A new book review is available at <a href="https://tug.org/books" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tug.org/books</a> -- of Nancy<br>
Stock-Allen's biography of noted typeface designer Carol Twombly,<br>
designer of Lithos, Charlemagne, Trajan, and Adobe Caslon. She was also<br>
one of the graduate students at Stanford during the years of Knuth's<br>
digital typography research, which the book goes into in detail.<br>
<br>
Finally, the new packages on CTAN (<a href="https://ctan.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ctan.org</a>) this monthinclude:<br>
<br>
- clojure-pamphlet, literate programming based on clojure's pamphlet system<br>
- csvmerge, merge TeX code with csv data<br>
- ddphonism, a LaTeX package for twelve-tone matrices, clock diagrams et al.<br>
- glosmathtools, mathematical glossary tools<br>
- matrix-skeleton, PGF/TikZ support to simplify handling multiple matrix nodes<br>
- quantumarticle, document class for submissions to the Quantum journal<br>
- tokcycle, build tools to process tokens from an input stream token by token<br>
- UniFiTh, a class to typeset theses for University of Florence (Italy)<br>
- zblbuild, help with the choice of a BibLaTeX style and options<br>
<br>
Happy TeXing!<br>
