Notes:
No contact links on Ann Patchett's home page. May have to send her paper mail.
Not sure if the NY Times link above will generally work, may have to register with them. The essay is also the first one in the (generally quite fun) collection Eat, Memory, edited by Amanda Hesser.
Sorry for the zero-technical-content post.
Halfway through the next TUGboat (TUG'08 proceedings), mostly awaiting papers as usual.
Received a renewed TeX development grant from an anonymous donor; matching donatations needed!
Next TUGboat has started, awaiting papers from the authors at TUG 2008. Heck, the deadline was only yesterday ...
TeX Live 2008 testing requested.
TUGboat 29:2 off to printer.
TUG 2008 papers posted.
First pass through GNU package list done. Many old packages decommissioned.
Saw Leonard Cohen and Glenn Gould in Toronto last weekend. Wow.
svn cleanup done now, back to it ...
Put the new release into TeX Live, too. On the compiled-sources front, only dvipdfmx is really left to update. LuaTeX is in, with lots of fun Web2C work by me and Taco. Should be pretty easy to drop in from now on, though.
Next regular TUGboat issue is getting closer, with articles on DTX files, Zapf's Euler font update, Asymptote, and lots more. Hopefully it'll go to the printer in May.
Gotten some submissions for TUG'08 in Cork, Ireland, but lots more are welcome.
Did Google Summer of Code org admin for both GNU (third time) and TUG (first time) this year. The proposals might be a bit more solid than in the past. At least the process is pretty familiar by now.
