[NTG-context] ConTeXt meeting 2023 attendance (please read)
Hi all, This is a reminder that the registration for the upcoming ConTeXt meeting in Sibrina, Czech Republic is still open. The meeting will take place from Sept 10 to Sept 16. You can go to https://meeting.contextgarden.net for more information. You will also find the registration form there. You can (of course) attend in person, but registration for online only attendance is also possible! We hope to see you next month! NOTE: There have recently been problems with the delivery of the filled-in registration form to the organisers. If you have registered sometime *in the last month* but have not heard from Jano or me yet, please re-register (the form emailer is fixed) or at least drop us a message!

Is there a possibility to split it up into "professional" during the week and "hobbyist" over the weekend so people could come for just the weekend, or the whole week? For most of us it *is* a hobby and the meeting kind of holidays. IMO meeting over the whole week is a big part of the appeal, otherwise we couldn’t fit all the interesting stuff into the schedule and the personal interaction also would fall short. I remember we had a similar split when we combined with EuroTeX. I was new to the community at that time, and I found the sudden influx of people over the weekend very confusing. YMMV It was always possible to register and come for just some days. We discourage it, since it disturbs the community experience, pickup is additional effort, and we often must pay the venue for the whole week (it depends). In 2022 the weekend would mean: maybe a talk or two on Friday, CG members meeting on Saturday morning, excursion for the rest of the day and nothing but departure on Sunday. In other years we met e.g. from Sunday to Saturday, and on the first day we are busy arriving and setting up. BTW it looks like Jano will host us in Sibřina again in September of 2023. And we’re discussing “uncharted territory” for 2024.

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt meeting 2023(!)
Hi, Being a teacher, I would indeed prefer a meeting during holidays, that would give me a chance to attend sometimes, and meeting locations are often mid-way between France and Poland… Greetings, Damien Thiriet ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] ConTeXt meeting 2023(!)
Hi y’all, at the latest online meeting as well as within the CG board, we were discussing the ConTeXt meeting in 2023, since nothing is planned yet. [date] The usual fall date makes it difficult for students and teachers to attend. We were discussing a date in August (or even July). Would that make a difference for you? What would you prefer? One argument against a date within the summer holidays is that many venues are booked for years in advance, but we got at least one offer (see below). [place] While we were due to go to Eastern Europe again, it looks like Jano as well as Mojca are too busy to organize a meeting. (And I’m very sorry if I misunderstood!) Please stand up whoever would like to organize next year’s meeting! Otherwise I might invite you to Maibach again (where we were in 2017), they told me they still have open slots in summer. Hoping for many more exciting ConTeXt meetings, Hraban https://meeting.contextgarden.net ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
