Dear TeXers<br>
<br>
This is the last month of 2022. A difficult year for many of us.<br>
December celebrations coincide with the season of charitable
giving;<br>
I hope you would not forget those who are now in the need of your<br>
help---especially those without power, heat and water.<br>
<br>
Among the most important news of the month for TUG is that the
Board has<br>
decided to have an in-person meeting in 2023---the first one since
the<br>
COVID pandemic started. The conference is scheduled for July 14 to
July 16<br>
(Fri-Sun), 2023, in Bonn, Germany. The preliminary information is
at<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://tug.org/tug2023/">https://tug.org/tug2023/</a>. We plan to include streaming and virtual<br>
options; the details will be published later. Many thanks to Gert<br>
Fischer, who is making this possible.<br>
<br>
2023 is an election year. The rules and dates have been announced
by the<br>
Election Committee and the notice and nomination form can be found
at<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://tug.org/election/">https://tug.org/election/</a>. If you want to serve the community,
this<br>
might be your opportunity.<br>
<br>
In the last newsletter I mentioned the new release of LaTeX. In<br>
November, Patch Level 1 was published by the LaTeX3 project.<br>
<br>
Two conferences took place in November: TeXConf 2022 (Japan) and<br>
the DANTE meeting 2022.<br>
<br>
In other news, History of Desktop Publishing by Frank Romano was<br>
awarded Honourable Mention by the Jury of the 18th ILAB Breslauer<br>
Prize for Bibliography. This book was reviewed for TUGboat by our<br>
late friend and TeXer Dave Walden, so it is a good occasion to
reread<br>
his article:

<br>
On a related front, just last month, Frank Romano had a
conversation<br>
with famous type designer Matthew Carter at the Museum of
Printing. It's<br>
available online (in three parts):
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://youtube.com/@museumofprinting">https://youtube.com/@museumofprinting</a><br>
<br>
Also, the MoP is looking for additional YouTube subscribers, so if<br>
you're interested, please check them out -- lots of overlap
between the<br>
MoP and various TeX/typographical topics. Their home page:<br>

<br>
