[UK-TUG] UK-TUG Speaker Meeting 2013

[Joseph Wright]

Dear Member,

The annual UK-TUG Speaker Meeting and AGM will take place on Saturday,
9th November at Trinity College, Oxford, OX1 3BH. A separate e-mail will
be circulated giving formal details of the AGM, committee elections and
so forth. The speaker meeting will begin at around 10 am and normally
runs to between 4 pm and 5 pm, depending on the number of talks
presented and time required to deal with the formal AGM business.

Attendence at the speaker day is free for UK-TUG members, and a light
lunch will be provided. For planning food and so forth, it would be
useful if members expecting to attend would let me know
(joseph.wright at morningstar2.co.uk).

We hope to have an exciting day of talks: the day is flexible, with only
the slot for the AGM (1400-1500) fixed. Members are encouraged to submit
talk titles and approximate lengths for addition to the programme. For
members who are unable to attend, I will be recording the talks again,
as happened last year, and uploading them to the UK-TUG Vimeo account.

Some of the day is often devoted to discussion. A suggestion for this
year is a workshop-like session on (relatively) recent developments in
the TeX world such as XeTeX and LuaTeX, and perhaps also in the LaTeX
world (packages such as biblatex). Depending on member feedback, this or
indeed some other discussion element may be included in the programme.

I will circulate a likley schedule for the day closer to the date of the
meeting, and look forward to seeing other members on the day.

Regards,

Joseph Wright
UK-TUG Secretary
