Dear TeX users and friends,

Please find below the call for papers for BachoTeX 2024, the dates are from
1st of May until 5th of May, 2024.

There is another good news: there is fiber at the venue! We don't 
promise fiber
grade access at the huts, but the conference hall will be connected nicely.

Registrations will be announced separately as soon as possible: the 
reason for
delay is that we have to be able to determine the costs to participants and
inflation doesn't help.

One more thing: this announcement will not be broadcast through Google's
comp.text.tex group as the group seems to have been hijacked by wrongdoers.

The 29th GUST TeX conference

Composed thoughts

This year’s theme, “Composed thoughts,” can be interpreted in several ways.
First, it can be seen as a reference to the process of creating a 
document with
TeX, during which thoughts can be separated from the final graphical 
form into
which they will be composed. Second, the theme can be seen as a reference to
TeX’s potential for “composing” thoughts: ways of conveying complex ideas,
structuring arguments, and illustrating them with specialized notations and
diagrams. Finally, this year’s theme can be seen as an invitation to 
reflect on
where the order, structure, and “being well composed” ends, and in what
situations the tool we use ceases to be elegant, and chaos creeps into 
files.

We invite you to participate in the conference and encourage you to show 
your
“composed thoughts,” as well as those more chaotic because, at BachoTeX, 
ideas
are born between heads.

* Papers/presentations

Of course we also look forward to the normal mix of TeX, Metafont/Metapost
(please, do not forget the fonts!), ConTeXt, LaTeX, and friends related
presentations. We also do upkeep the BachoTeX trend in which we try to bring
together programmers and designers of typographic systems, typographers and
other users of such systems. The normal channel of offering papers is the
emailing of proposals to the Program Committee, but before rushing off
to the mailer, please consult the info for authors.

* Workshops and tutorials

We look forward to proposals for TeX-related tutorials or introductions.
If you have suggestions for tutorials or workshops by others than
yourself or about specific topics, please let us know.

* Poster sessions

As always at BachoTeX participants will be given the opportunity to
present their TeX and typographic results in the form of posters for
which we provide exhibition space.

* Deadlines and addresses

The deadline for "regular" abstracts and other proposals is March 24th,
2024. The deadline for final papers to appear in the conference materials
is April 14th. Contributions should be sent by email to the Program
Committee:

      prog-2024 at gust.org.pl.

The Program Committee is chaired by Bogusław Jackowski
(b_jackowski at gust dot org dot pl).
