TUG 2024Following the very successful online meetings of past
years, the TEX
Users Group 2024 meeting will take place at the Hotel
Grandior in Prague (Czech Republic) on July 19–21, with Tom
Hejda leading the local organization. Full details are at
http://tug.org/tug2024. There will be a
LaTeX developers' workshop on July 18; the topics will be
around tagged and accessible PDF, as with last year.
Many XML users also use
LATEX for their formatting via XSLT, so
there are important areas of overlap in terms of
facilities.
Balisage 2024Balisage is
the premier conference on the theory, practice, design,
development, and application of markup. We solicit papers on
any aspect of markup and its uses, including
XML, XSLT, xQuery,
JSON, LATEX, Markdown, and many others
(paper submissions due 5 April 2024). The conference will run
from 29 July to 2 August, and will be virtual again this year,
so local watch-parties are encouraged.
Many aspects of LATEX markup are closely
related to the use of XML markup and the
handling of structured documents.
ConTEXt 2024The 18th International ConTEXt
meeting will be held on August 17–23, 2024, in
Lutten/Hardenberg, The Netherlands.
XML Summer School 2024The XML
Summer School runs at St Edmund Hall, Oxford, from
Sunday 15th to Friday 20th September 2024. The week-long event
is made up of courses which range from the basics of XML to
advanced topics in linked data, web design, and
publishing.
TEI Conference 2024The Text Encoding
Initiative represents the accepted standard
XML format for literary and historical
texts in the Humanities. The TEI 2024
Conference will be held in the Universidad del
Salvador, Buenos Aires, Argentina from 7-11 October 2024.
Pre-conference workshops will run on the 7-8 October, with the
conference opening and running for the 9-11 October.
Many TEI users also use
LATEX via XSLT for creating PDF.
Declarative Amsterdam 5The sixth edition of Declarative
Amsterdam will take place on 7 and 8 November 2024 at
the Science Park, Amsterdam. It will be a hybrid conference
with the opportunity to attend live or online, for both
attendees and presenters.
Declarative techniques are a style of computing that
expresses the purpose of computation without describing its
control flow. It allows you to focus on the ‘what’, rather
than the ‘how’.
Declarative Amsterdam 5The fifth edition of Declarative
Amsterdam will take place on 2 and 3 November 2023 at
the Science Park, Amsterdam. It will be a hybrid conference
with the opportunity to attend live or online, for both
attendees and presenters.
The first day will feature tutorials, combining
presentations and hands-on sessions to give an introduction to
specific topics. The second day will be a symposium, with
shorter presentations. Speakers can discuss new ideas,
frameworks, applications of declarative methods, and best
practices.
Declarative techniques are a style of computing that
expresses the purpose of computation without describing its
control flow. It allows you to focus on the ‘what’, rather
than the ‘how’. While the conference is mainly focused on XML
and related technologies, much of the underlying principle
holds true for the LATEX user interface also.
Declarative Amsterdam will have presentations on past
experiences, current trends and future perspectives in fields
such as functional programming, declarative data modelling,
databases, XML and related technologies, JSON, CSS, semantic
web, data science, data visualization, grammars, parsing, and
domain-specific languages.
Future of Text vol IVThe fourth annual Symposium on the Future of Text will be
held in London (and online) on the 4th of October 2023. This
is to announce ‘The Future of Text’ Vol IV which is now open
for proposals (see below).
This year we are focusing on text to extend cognition in
extended environments, from paper in notebooks to reams of
paper across tables and onto walls, with screens, projections
and head mounted devices, interacted with directly as well as
through AI.
If you are able to attend on the day in London, please
contact mailto:frode@hegland.com as soon
as possible so that your name can be on the door for the
venue.
You may choose to propose an article for the book, a
presentation for the symposium or both.

meeting will be held on September 10-16th, 2023, in
Prague-Sibřina, Czech Republic.
