Hello dear ConTeXt enthusiasts, First of all I would like to thank to all of you who have replied to my first mail. (It's really a pity that quite some people whom I was hoping to see or get to know will not be able to participate this year.) I have put the meeting page online now (not perfect yet, but it serves the basic needs): http://meeting.contextgarden.net/ The registration form should be working now (I hope so at least - two have registered already). I had two locations in mind, but I have chosen the nicer and cheaper one, which consequently means that it is fully booked months in advance. Even though it could host two such meetings, I cannot take the risk of booking and paying for too many empty beds, or vice versa: it would be stupid to decline people just because of too few reservations. Why to come? - meet ConTeXt fellows - present your work - solve your problems quickly - not every software can offer you direct contact with its authors: you will be proud to say that you have met two among the most important TeX-ies around the world (then you will be only one step away from Don E. Knuth) - spend nice holidays next to the biggest Slovenian lake (swimming, if the weather will still permit) - if it will be too cold or rainy, you may continue your trip to the Croatian coast - some last year participants on the list could name you other reasons as well :-) So - if you're thinking about visiting this tiny, but wonderful piece of Europe in August, please register right away on http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2008/register.shtml (and choose "I will come for sure" :) Mojca

Personally, I would really love to attend but Europe as a whole is not a cheap destination for my limited, part-time employee part-time student means (I'm in Canada). I'm in France or Swizterland once or twice a year, but it's paid by work and I don't get to choose the time of year... On appearances it sometimes feels like I'm the only North American user of ConTeXt (which is surely not true, though)! If a meeting in North America were to be organized, I'd be there. Hell, I'd help organize it. ;-) Jeff

You may try to ask to arrange a trip in that part of the year :) Even if you don't decide about it, your hints might help ...

In case you wonder: 27% of wiki visitors come from USA (if you can neglect the fact that its among the biggest countries, that's the highest percentage), next 14% from Germany. But it's true that Canada only has twice as many visitors as Slovenia, despite the size :p

If a meeting in North America were to be organized, I'd be there. Hell, I'd help organize it. ;-)

Only change the last sentence to "I'm going to organize it in 20XX, I'm looking for coorganizers ..." ;) Then you can TUG meetings in USA are usually way too expensive (both trip & fee) to attend only for fun. Mojca
