Any (other) ConTeXt users in Finland?
Hello All! Inspired by the recent ConTeXt meeting where I again enjoyed meeting other users as well as the developers, I'm wondering if there are any other ConTeXt users in Finland? And if so, would you be interested in a mini-meeting for an afternoon or evening, possibly at my work in Vantaa? If nothing else, we could tell each other what we do with ConTeXt and get ideas and with luck even be able to sort out some problems. I'm far from the nerdiest person in the world, but I could probably manage a short "introduction to ConTeXt", if you are interested but haven't gotten started or if you know people who'd like to try but don't want to do it by themselves. BTW, if any ConTeXt users (Finnish or others) pass by Helsinki airport or the Greater Helsinki area, you are welcome to informally pop into our office and I'll give you coffee/tea and cookies (if we have any) and any ConTeXt help I can give. Just check on this in advance as I'm not always there, but often can arrange things if notified a few days earlier. Terveisin/Best Regards, Mari Voipio K-Patents Oy (in Vantaanportti, just 5 minutes from the airport)

Hi,
I am based in Helsinki. I am a doctoral student in Aalto university's Dept. of Design. I am using Context very seriously for my dissertation. Not just for Graphic design but for managing the writing process as well.
Would be nice meet other context users here.
Best,

I just checked the "nordic" TUGS: - Nordic TeX (http://folk.uio.no/dag/ntug/) seems to be long dead - Danish TUG (http://www.tug.dk/) is active - CyrTUG (http://www.cemi.rssi.ru/cyrtug/) gives a page not found - ÍsTeX (http://www3.hi.is/pub/istex/) seems to be dormant So there is room for a Finnish TUG :-) Best Martin

Well, this far I'm up to *4* ConTeXt users resident in Finland - me, my brother Ville, Salil and Otso. Which doubles the amount of users I know, but still... (Alan is in France and Martin, AFAIK, in Germany, so they don't count even though they replied to this thread.) While by Finnish law 3 can make an official society/organization, I think we'll stick to informal meetings this far. At least we four are all in the same area so getting together is somewhat possible, especially as I have a meeting space at my disposal. BUT: Nobody else in Finland???
