Dear TeXers,<br>
<br>
September is upon us. I hope the days of autumn bring health and<br>
peace to fellow TeXers.<br>
<br>
Thanks to the hard work of TUG volunteers, all videos from TUG2022
are<br>
now online and available from the conference main page<br>
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://tug.org/tug2022/">https://tug.org/tug2022/</a>) and from our YouTube channel<br>
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://youtube.com/c/TeXUsersGroup/videos">https://youtube.com/c/TeXUsersGroup/videos</a>). It was a huge task
to<br>
edit the videos, add the metadata, check the transcriptions. I
want to<br>
thank again the volunteers who performed this task, notably<br>
Paulo Ney de Souza, Norbert Preining, J\'er\'emy Just, Chadrack
Besongo,<br>
and Barbara Beeton. Thanks also to all the volunteers who helped<br>
organize the conference. You rock!<br>
<br>
The proceedings issue of TUGboat is at the printer, and is
expected to<br>
be mailed around September 13. The electronic copy will be
available<br>
for TUG members as soon as the new issue is mailed. At that time,
the<br>
spring 2022 issue, 43:1, will be publicly available. By the way, I<br>
just reread some of the publicly available issue from fall 2021,
42:3<br>
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb42-3/">https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb42-3/</a>), and thought it was a very good
one.<br>
Many interesting tidbits, from classical typography to the modern
usage<br>
of Unicode and open street maps.<br>
<br>
Articles for the next issue of TUGboat are most welcome. The
deadline is<br>
October 15. For the article template and other information, see<br>

Speaking of TUG business, 2023 is an election year, so you might
want<br>
to consider serving on the Board. The official announcement is in<br>
the TUGboat proceedings issue, and is also posted online:<br>

The 16th ConTeXt Meeting is scheduled for Dreifelden, Germany,<br>

In other news, last year mathematicians celebrated a centennial of
a<br>
great logician, Boris Trakhtenbrot<br>
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Trakhtenbrot">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Trakhtenbrot</a>). He was born in<br>
Moldova, studied in Ukraine, and worked in Russia and Israel.
Recently<br>
his son found unique photos of him, Stephen C Kleene and DEK
picking<br>
cotton in Uzbekistan. You can find these photos on DEK's page,
just<br>
above the list of lectures:<br>
