TUGboat, Volume 10 (1989), No. 1 GUTenberg CongrBs: T&jX et les graphiques Paris, 16-17 May 1989 The second annual Congrbs of the Groupe francophone des Utilisateurs de 'I)$ will be held in Paris on 16-17 May 1989. The theme will be T)$ and graphics. Various papers will present a survey of rn graphics under MS/DOS, UNIX, VMS and Mac. New products will be unveiled. Major topics are presently oriented around METAFONT and Post- Script. A "grand gourou" speaker will be invited. Will this person speak about new color products? An introductory course is being organized by Olivier Nicole and Jacques Beigbeder; a tutorial on METAFONT is planned by Victor Ostromoukhov. A general assembly of GUTenberg members will be held on the evening of the first day in order to approve the composition of GUTenberg's executive board and to approve its decisions. The two-day cost for the Congrbs will be nearly 400FF for GUTenberg members, plus an additional 200FF for non-members. The location will be at a Paris north gate (Porte de la Chapelle) that's not so far from Roissy airport. The Cahiers GUTenberg will begin publication officially during 1989. This journal will be formatted for A4 paper, using French typographic conventions. A LATEX style file will be provided to prospective authors. It is expected that many of the papers to be presented at the CongrBs will be published in the Cahiers. Subscription prices have been set at 150FF per year for GUTenberg members, 250FF for non-members. Four issues are planned for this year.

The conference will be organized by Anne Briiggemann-Klein, Department of Computer Science, University of Freiburg, and Rainer Rupprecht, Computing Center, University of Karlsruhe. Following the tradition of last years' conferences, contributions are welcome from all areas of W, METAFONT, and related subjects. Likely themes might include: - Document structures (IPW, SGML, ODA, . . . ) Non-technical TJ$ (humanities, music, exotic languages, . . . ) Other technical areas (chemistry, physics, biology, . . . ) Difficult jobs with TJ$, IPW, . . . Graphics and T@ w training w as part of a larger system (user interfaces, tools, environments, . . . ) w as a production tool Fonts to use with (METAFONT and other systems) and Postscript Macro packages Public domain 'I)$ vs. commercial W Besides traditional paper sessions, discussion groups on special subjects and exhibitions will be organized. In a special session at the end of the conference, highlights of the discussion groups will be presented to the general audience. Conference proceedings will be published after the conference. Various workshops and participatory seminars will be offered before and after the conference. Proposals for topics and voluntary tutors are welcome. The conference fee will be approximately DM 280,-. The fee includes registration materials, lunches, social events and a copy of the conference proceedings.

TUGboat, Volume 10 (1989), No. 1 119 A UK Users' Group- Report of a preliminary meeting David Osborne University of Nottingham, UK National user groups in the m-speaking world are quite the fashion these days, it seems. With the formation of user groups in West Germany, France and the Netherlands, there is an active and growing involvement of European m ers in meeting to discuss T@ matters. To date, although there has been a widespread and growing use of m within the United Kingdom academic community and also, fortunately, outside it, contact between users of has been largely informal. It has been common for m users who encountered each other at various non-m seminars and conferences to swap experience and news during coffee-breaks. 'T)$ The undoubted success of the Third European conference in Exeter in July ("l&Xeter8Bn) brought together a significant number of British users and produced a momentum for the formation of a user group devoted to l&X. Credit for masterminding both the Exeter conference and the first organised meeting of UK rn users goes to Malcolm Clark of Imperial College, London. Thus it was during one of those coffee-break Tp-X gettogethers in late September that I found myself the subject of Malcolm's well-known persuasive skills and agreed to organise an inaugural meeting at which a UK group might be formed. Due to the short notice at which the meeting was arranged, its announcement was by electronic mail and details were also given in the UKW Digest. This led to an unfortunate emphasis in favour of academic users; however, a number of T$ users from commercial companies were among the 36 who came to the meeting held at the University of Nottingham on November 4th. I tried to plan the programme with a balance between talks and an opportunity to discuss the aims of the group but, as might be expected, there was just not enough time for everything. The first speaker was Charles Curran of Oxford University. Charles has been actively interested in METAFONT for some years and discussed how fonts can be matched to specific output devices by tuning the mode-def parameters. It was obvious that this is a lengthy process of trial and error. During questions which followed, it was suggested that optimum results could be obtained if a definitive standard were available in the form of a laser-printed Computer Modern "Sample Book", in the manner of Volume E of "Computers and Typesetting". Since I have been involved in setting up on systems in our computing centre, I tried to give an overview of some of the pitfalls which await the novice implementor, despite the amount of helpful information in README files and other documentation. In fact, this is part of the problem: the sheer volume of information which needs to be assimilated and, ideally, before starting. I wondered if there is scope for a succinct yet detailed "How to implement m and METAFONT on system X.. ." document for each major system. From the somewhat arcane topics of META- FONT and m implementation, our attention turned to an topic of which concerns many users in a stimulating look at "I4W in Conmt" from Sue Brooks of BUSS Ltd. As someone using WIQX to document a significant software package, Sue's point of view was that of the author and she gave a clear overview of the benefits which I4W offers a writer for logically structuring their document. After lunch, we were treated to two very interesting reports from recent conferences. Cathy Booth from Exeter University had attended this year's TUG meeting in Montreal and described those threads running though the meeting which had most caught her attention. Chris Rowley of the Open University gave a companion talk on events at the Freiburg meeting in West Germany. It was clear from his description of the proposed further development of m and I4w that we will be hearing much of interest from West German users in future. As has already been mentioned, time was short and it was with regret that, with his agreement, we postponed the talk on "Picture Languages" from Sebastian Rahtz of Southampton University; hopefully, Sebastian will give this talk at a later meeting. Malcolm Clark then took the floor to give a wide-ranging assessment of the world m situation. He had recently been appointed European COordinator (in absentia!) and was not yet sure what this entailed. Malcolm first outlined the activities of TUG itself, then broadened the picture to include the various national groups which have been formed, not forgetting those groups with peripheral interests in rn as one aspect of electronic typesetting. Focusing on the main reason for the meeting, Malcolm then looked at what he felt was needed to further the cause and how a UK group could help to this end. There is clearly a need for English hyphenation patterns and some tentative plans were made
