Fwd: Announcing Season of Docs 2019
by Mojca Miklavec 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

Hi, This is just to let you know that Google started accepting applications for organisations that want to participate in "Google season of docs", offering stipends to technical writers to work full time on improving documentation of open source projects. See also a list of sample ideas: https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/project-ideas (but maybe some improvement of the writing tools could also count, I don't know). Participation is not limited to students this time. Is any of the TeX user groups interested in participating? Mojca ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: 'sttaylor' via Google Summer of Code Mentors List Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2019 at 23:32 We’re delighted to announce the inaugural year of Season of Docs, a Google program that fosters collaboration between open source projects and technical writers. Season of Docs is similar to Summer of Code, but with a focus on open source documentation and technical writers. Details are on our website: g.co/seasonofdocs <https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/>. Would you like to take part as an open source mentor in the inaugural year of Season of Docs? Open source organizations can start thinking now about the projects you’d like a technical writer to work on. Take a look at the examples of project ideas <https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/project-ideas>. Reach out to your community members to see who’d like to be a mentor for Season of Docs. As a mentor, you don’t need technical writing skills. Instead, you're a member of the open source organization who knows the value of good documentation and who is experienced in open source processes and tools. See the guidelines on working with a technical writer <https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/tech-writer-collaboration>. Organization applications open on April 2, 2019. See the full timeline <https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/timeline> on the Season of Docs website. >From April 30, Technical writers can explore the list of participating open source organizations and their project ideas. Technical writers bring their skills in designing and developing documentation to the open source organization. Technical writer applications open on April 30. The list of accepted technical writing projects is announced on July 30. Please do tweet and blog about Season of Docs if you’d like to share the news. We want as many people to know about it as possible. We’ve provided logos that you can download and some example content on the press page <https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/press>. We’re looking forward to an exciting pilot of the Season of Docs program! If you have any questions about the program, please email us at season-of-docs-support(a)googlegroups.com. Best regards Sarah Maddox, Andrew Chen and the Season of Docs team

Luametatex
by Dmitry Starostin 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

To sum up problems of setting up after installing context-lmtx (context mkiv on my machine is gone, so these are quite pressing questions): Some were addressed, but I cannot resolve them 1. luametatex: works as intended from within TexShop, but 'command not found' from terminal $CONTEXTHOME/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/even after chmod 755. What to source? 2. ./luametatex 'no format given' 3. there used to be context --run, now there isn't.

Dear Hans and Alan, First, thanks for your wonderful work! I followed your instruction to install ConTeXt LMTX. For the record, I wrote what I did. Any comment is welcome to improve my installation. - create directory: ConTeXtLMTX - download install files. - run “sudo sh ./install.sh” - after a long lists, installation is done without errors. The following settings were used: server : lmtx.contextgarden.net,lmtx.pragma-ade.com,lmtx.pragma-ade.nl instance : install-lmtx extras : ownpath : /Users/graph/ConTeXtLTMX platform : osx-64 - I copied my local files from “texmf-local” in ConTeXt MKIV and run mtxrun - Recently, I am using Atom as an editor. I installed “process-pallete” packge and create a command as following: source /Users/graph/ConTeXtLMTX/tex/setuptex; context {filePath} - At the first run, I got "permission denied” message. /Users/graph/ConTeXtLTMX/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/luametatex: Permission denied - So I change the permission of luametatex as 755. - After that I tested the sample file which is given in the installation.pdf - Also there is no error when I compile my file which is good in ConTeXt MKIV. - However, there is no simpleslide module. Of course, there is no "module/third” folder. Thus I couldn’t compile a file in screen mode. I hope that I have done it right. I have a question. Is it better to use"/Users/graph/ConTeXtLTMX/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun --autogenerate --script context --autopdf …" instead of “context {filePath}"? Thank you for reading.

lmtx doesn't search texmf-local
by Henri Menke 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

Dear list, I have installed LMTX into /opt/context-lmtx/ and placed my favourite fonts into /opt/context-lmtx/tex/texmf-local/ as I also did in ConTeXt standalone. I would expect LMTX to find the newly installed otf files after regenerating the file tree but that is not the case, see my terminal log below. Do I have to do it differently for LMTX? Cheers, Henri --- $ ls /opt/context-lmtx/tex/texmf-local/fonts/opentype/bh/lucidaot/LucidaBrightOT.otf /opt/context-lmtx/tex/texmf-local/fonts/opentype/bh/lucidaot/LucidaBrightOT.otf $ mtxrun --generate resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTOLOC' set to '/opt/context-lmtx/bin' resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTODIR' set to '/opt/context-lmtx' resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTOPARENT' set to '/opt' resolvers | resolving | variable 'TEXMFCNF' set to '' resolvers | resolving | variable 'TEXMF' set to '' resolvers | resolving | variable 'TEXOS' set to 'context-lmtx' resolvers | resolving | resolvers | resolving | using configuration specification 'home:texmf/web2c;selfautoparent:/texmf-local/web2c;selfautoparent:/texmf-context/web2c;selfautoparent:/texmf-dist/web2c;selfautoparent:/texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | resolvers | resolving | looking for regular 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/home/henri/texmf/web2c' from specification 'home:texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for regular 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/opt/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for regular 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/opt/texmf-context/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-context/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for regular 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/opt/texmf-dist/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-dist/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for regular 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/opt/texmf/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for fallback 'contextcnf.lua' on given path '/home/henri/texmf/web2c' from specification 'home:texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for fallback 'contextcnf.lua' on given path '/opt/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for fallback 'contextcnf.lua' on given path '/opt/texmf-context/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-context/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for fallback 'contextcnf.lua' on given path '/opt/texmf-dist/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-dist/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for fallback 'contextcnf.lua' on given path '/opt/texmf/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | resolvers | resolving | warning: no lua configuration files found resolvers | resolving | no texmf paths are defined (using TEXMF) resolvers | resolving | mtxrun | mtxrun | elapsed lua time: 0.011 seconds $ mtxrun --find-file LucidaBrightOT.otf

lmtx
by Hans Hagen 02 Apr '19

02 Apr '19

Hi, So, for those who hesitate to check out lmtx, here is some information. - In order to achieve long term stability context will use a lean and mean variant of luatex (although for now context will keep running on luatex too; i might drop support for luajittex). Eventually the source code will be part of the context distribution so that one can always compile a binary that matches an archived context version. - This version also permits us to experiment (even very extreme) without interupting the parent program luatex, which is now used by other macro packages too and therefore needs to be frozen in functionality. Some features might trickle back into luatex eventually (unless it breaks compatibility). - As a direct effect it means that context does a bit more: creating the pdf file (already most is done anyway in mkiv), dealing with font embedding, handling image inclusion, etc. For sure there can be issues with that but it has run on my machine already for quite a while. - It is hard to be conclusive about performance but for instance the luatex manual processes a bit faster with lmtx as does the test suite. A gain in performance on very demanding documents is also observed by Alan and Thomas. Normally one can expect a similar performance. However, the memory footprint could be a bit smaller. - The current somewhat hybrid codebase of context will stepwise be adapted so that at some point we can start experimenting with some pending ideas. (Which is why i sometimes answer "later this year".) Anyway, it might not look like it, but it is a conceptual change in how context evolves.

Welcome to LMTX
by Hans Hagen 02 Apr '19

02 Apr '19

Hi all, After more than a decade of mkiv and luatex it's time to move on to a new stage. After all, nowadays a ten-year old program is considered to be really old, especially for those who consider a manual typeset three years ago as an indication of lack of progress. Therefore: welcome to lua(meta)tex 2.00 and context lmtx, the follow up on luatex and mkiv, if you dare. It has many deep-down changes but aims to be a simple evolution. The average user will probably not notice many differences but nevertheless, when you are in for something new, you can give it a try: http://www.pragma-ade.nl/install.htm Of course you should keep your current installation too. We're sure that there will be issues so when you run into unexpected surprises, you can blame us (and fall-back on the current Context beta and luatex). Of course with the proper mwe's (tex, metapost, lua, or a combination of these) we will try to solve them all, we have been testing. In due time more about this project will be revealed.

Hi, We have worked furiously all day kicking-out extra code, and are pleased to present a lean-and-mean version of luatex with your favorite ConTeXt. Same good taste but only half the calories and a new name: luametatex and ConTeXt LMTX. No more Mk-whatever, no more dependencies for we can now stand on our own. Of course, good-old luatex and MkIV (as well as MkII) will continue to coexist and be maintained. However, now you will be able to run ConTeXt lmtx on your smart thermostat or on your refrigerator for the Internet of Things - the dawn of a new era! Stay tuned, Alan and Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
