Dear TeXers<br>
<br>
We did it! We were able to conduct another online TUG meeting with
many<br>
interesting talks, and hundreds of participants,<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://tug.org/tug2022/">https://tug.org/tug2022/</a>. I would like to thank the many people
who made<br>
this possible. It required many hours of volunteer work to collect
the<br>
submissions, create the program, set up the Zoom and YouTube
links,<br>
conduct the sessions during the conference. Now volunteers are
editing<br>
and uploading the videos, and editing the proceedings. Many thanks
to<br>
Paulo Ney de Souza, Arthur Rosendahl, Barbara Beeton, Jennifer
Claudio,<br>
Jeremy Just, Karl Berry, Norbert Preining, Robin Laakso, Rohit
Goswami,<br>
Ross Moore, Will Robertson, who made all this possible. Thanks to
our<br>
sponsors (the list is at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://tug.org/tug2022/">https://tug.org/tug2022/</a>) for their
support.<br>
Thanks to our great speakers and all participants.<br>
<br>
The videos will be available in our YouTube channel,<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.youtube.com/c/TeXUsersGroup">https://www.youtube.com/c/TeXUsersGroup</a>, and the proceedings will
be<br>
published in TUGboat, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://tug.org/TUGboat/">https://tug.org/TUGboat/</a>. The proceedings
will<br>
also contain a report of the Annual General Meeting that took
place<br>
during the conference.<br>
<br>
We are now thinking about making the next TUG -- either
(hopefully) a<br>
hybrid one or an online meeting -- even better. Suggestions and
help are<br>
always welcome; please email the <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:tug-conferences@tug.org">tug-conferences@tug.org</a> mailing
list if<br>
you can offer.<br>
<br>
Speaking of TUG business, we are approaching the election. The
official<br>
announcement of the Election Committee will be included in the
TUGboat<br>
proceedings issue, and released soon online:<br>

<br>
Upcoming meetings: sadly, BachoTeX 2022 has been cancelled due to<br>
another outbreak of COVID. At this moment we do not know about the<br>
decision of the Organizing Committee for 16th ConTeXt Meeting in<br>
Dreifelden, Germany, Sept. 12-18, 2022, but be alert for last
minute changes:<br>

In other news, Stefan Kottwitz published his collection of LaTeX<br>
recipes earlier this year, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://latex-cookbook.net/">https://latex-cookbook.net/</a>. He also<br>
offers a free upgrade to the owners of the first edition of his
LaTeX<br>
Beginner's Guide -- they can now ask for the second edition:<br>

As I am writing this, there is unfortunate news about bombs,
rockets and<br>
artillery killing people in different parts of the world. I wish<br>
everyone to have a good month and to wake up from the sound of an
alarm<br>
clock rather than air raid alarms.<br>
<br>
Happy TeXing!<br>
<br>
Boris Veytsman, TUG President<br>
