Hi Jonathan These days I don't use LaTeX as much as I've used to when I was in Academia and I also never got involved directly with any TeX user group. This sounds like a good way for me to "make amend" even though my spare time is, in general, very limited. There's a TeX topic that I wanted to explore, namely "virtual environments". As far as I know, the closest thing to this is what is described in this answer on TeX.SE
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/448263/is-there-a-way-to-create-tex-live-or-latex-virtual-environment which hasn't worked for me on Ubuntu straight-away. As I said, my spare time is limited at the moment, so I haven't looked into this any further, but I'd love to contribute to a TeX venv project in the future if that will become a thing. Should I feel like I can join one of these office hours I'll get back to you for the zoom link. For now, I hope the group can live on.
