UK TUG funds TeX Gyre and TeXWorks
Following consultation with our members (and many thanks to those who expressed views), we have donated £1600 to Jonathan Kew’s TeXWorks project (a cross-platform TeX working environment), and £3400 to the TeX Gyre project (Open Type fonts, particularly mathematics). For more visit our Projects page.
TeX gets Google SOC support
This summer Google is paying 1125 students to write open-source software, as part of their Summer of Code. Four of these student projects are to do with TeX. Three are being mentored by TUG, and the fourth by the developers of AbiWord. Christoph Hafmeister’s project, to develop an Online TeX Editor, is being mentored by myself (Jonathan Fine). For links to all four of these projects, visit the MathTran blog. There’s also more information on the TUG GSOC page.
EuroTeX proceedings
We have copies of the 2007 EuroTeX conference for our members, and hope to send them out in the next couple of weeks.
Please help us
We could use more hands and energy. All offers of help are welcome. To volunteer, email the Committee.
Earlier this week Don Knuth turned 70. This inspired a coordinated series of posts by admirers in mathematics and computer scientists, and also one from myself.
This Google search for “happy birthday” Knuth gives several hundred other posting joining us in wishing him well.
