-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: BachoTeX 2023: invitation and call for papers Datum: Wed, 1 Feb 2023 20:33:11 +0100 Von: Jerzy.Ludwichowski Dear Friends, please pass on the BachoTeX 2023 announcement to your members. With best wishes, -- Jerzy Ludwichowski =========================================== Dear TeX users and friends, good news - come what may, there will be BachoTeX 2023 as indeed I promised when announcing BachoTeX 2022 cancellation. The SARS-CoV-2 virus did not disappear but seems to have become less of a danger as far as one can tell. The war in Ukraine is raging still, but none the less we decided to organize BachoTeX 2023 at the usual dates and venue. We hope that for the fall and to make up for the lost time by keeping the same theme as the cancelled 2020 conference. Please find below the call for papers for BachoTeX 2023, with the same theme as planned for BachoTeX 2020 and 2022. The dates are from 29th of April until 3rd of May, 2023. Registrations will be announced separately as soon as possible. -- Jerzy Ludwichowski (for the Organizing Committee) The 28th GUST TeX conference A model kit. Modeling and implementing text typesetting in TeX and other systems. TeX as a program created by a scientist - Professor of The Art of Computer Programming, D. E. Knuth - stands out among other typesetting programs. Here we have not only an implementation but also a theoretical model to explain its behavior. For example the line breaking algorithm is based on the "algebra of glue and boxes". Algorithms designed for TeX became the basis for several scientific publications. TeX became a suitable environment for research in typography. We ask participants to reflect on the dependencies between theoretical models and implementation. Do they help or are they an obstacle? * Papers/presentations Of course we also look forward to the normal mix of TeX, Metafont/Metapost (please, do not forget the fonts!), ConTeXt, LaTeX, and friends related presentations. We also do upkeep the BachoTeX trend in which we try to bring together programmers and designers of typographic systems, typographers and other users of such systems. The normal channel of offering papers is the emailing of proposals to the Program Committee, but before rushing off to the mailer, please consult the info for authors. * Workshops and tutorials We look forward to proposals for TeX-related tutorials or introductions. If you have suggestions for tutorials or workshops by others than yourself or about specific topics, please let us know. * Poster sessions As always at BachoTeX participants will be given the opportunity to present their TeX and typographic results in the form of posters for which we provide exhibition space. * Deadlines and addresses The deadline for "regular" abstracts and other proposals is March 26th, 2023. The deadline for final papers to appear in the conference materials is April 16th. Contributions should be sent by email to the Program Committee:     prog-2023 at gust.org.pl. The Program Committee is chaired by Bogusław Jackowski (b_jackowski at gust dot org dot pl). For other conference details see http://gust.org.pl/bachotex/2023-en.
