I am so disappointed that I cannot attend the upcoming ConTeXt meeting in Brejlov, but as I type this I am remembering vividly the hospitality and affection shown by all at the 2010 meeting, especially Pavel's father, to this tee-totalling vegetarian---not something that lands up at the Brejlov Inn too often, I imagine! The reason for my absence this year is that I will be heading to India shortly to conduct what is known as "antim yatra" (final journey) in Hindi for my mother; I'll leave the details of what that implies to those who wish to search on DuckDuckGo ;). Anyway that is strictly an aside to this post. You'll have to forgive me if I am feeling sentimental, but Prague does, as it has throughout its history, enter one's soul. To walk through its streets is to be smitten by it for life. Recently I picked up a book that I would like to share as it may help provide a context to those travelling through Prague on their way to Brejlov. Prague: Capital of the Twentieth Century A Surrealist History by Derek Sayer All the best to those who are attending. I am envious!

Thanks. A pitty that you will not be there, but there will be more conferences, so maybe a next time. Concerning the conference: there are tutorials and qa sessions, so if anyone attending has specific questions of wishes, let them know and they might serve as templates. Of course it has to be reasonable, not 'i want a three dimensional table mechanism' and such.

Are there any ConTeXt meetups or conferences on the US? I'd like to go, but $$ to fly to Europe = :-\ Best, Mica On Thu, Sep 19, 2013 at 1:50 AM, Hans Hagen wrote:

the reverse also applies, i.e. most developers are over here so it would mean a lot of traveling one advantage of europe is that we can choose relatively affordable accomodation so on top of travel expenses the costs are bearable it also depends on interest ... i think that idris still wants to have a conference in Colorado one time (when his fight with fires and floods have stopped) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

There are 3D printers now, so what's wrong with wanting a (real) 3D table :-) Aditya

i'm sitting behind a real 3d (wooden) table .. but indeed, 3d printing is on my agenda long ago i made a panoramic (360 degree) movie of the metafun manual .. although it gave an interesting perspective of a document i never found time or reason to do it again (but eventually documents will change in unexpected ways) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I can’t ask about this! No conference for me then :( Regards, Khaled

Well, if I am able to finish what I intended to do, my talk at TUG 2013 will be about 3D cabinet layout; so not quite a table, but somewhat close, no? ;). Seriously, though, I went looking for this information and wasn't able to find it. What is the current state of affairs of tie-in between ConTeXt and Aymptote? Is there any? Or is it best to create a standalone .eps with Asymptote and then include it into the ConTeXt document? Thanks. On 9/19/2013 7:17 PM, Aditya Mahajan wrote:

Do you mean something like http://asymptote.sourceforge.net/gallery/cyclohexane.pdf ?

It's better to create a separate pdf qith asymptote: mkiv should be able to insert it without loss of informations. The filter module is a general mechanism to use external programs with mkiv, so I think it's possible to embed a source asy and (with some macros) include the pdf (perhaps in two pass) .

The only problem with povray is that it is quite aged and to my knowledge no longer in development at least the Mac side! regards Am 19.09.2013 um 22:18 schrieb Alan BRASLAU :

Actually, I am just hoping to get the skeleton line drawing part working (for the inside boxes or carcasses as they are sometimes known in the kitchen design business). My focus is on the workflow and is a follow-up to my YAWN talk at TUG last year. Renderings will be beyond my capabilities at this point, although I will give povray a look. Thanks Luigi and Alan.
