Last time I was at the ConTeXt conference, a few years back, there was talk
about "monetization" of ConTeXt. In other words, using ConTeXt to generate
revenue. I was wondering if this is still on the agenda. Perhaps we could
have a discussion on how to achieve this. I have one possible idea but I would
need some feedback from the more experienced members to ascertain its viability.

Subject: [NTG-context] Regular online meet-up
You’re invited to join next Tuesday, November 9th, 15:00 CET (UTC+1)
at https://lecture.senfcall.de/hen-rbr-rku-oke
ConTeXt users of all levels are welcome!
Hans offered to give a Q&A session again – please announce subjects you’d like
to discuss ASAP, so that he can prepare.
From my part:
I will show off the novel that I’m sending to the printshop tomorrow. Typeset
with extreme HZ...
A first run of these 332 pages needed just 33s on my old Mac – ConTeXt LMTX is
fast! (In comparison: a first latexmk run of my short DTK article about the
ConTeXt meeting, using the DTK LaTeX class, needed more than a minute. My
ConTeXt book though, now at 298 pages and using *all* the features, needs ~8
min for a first run.)
Also, I’m playing with different SyncTeX parsers for a LaTeX project, maybe
there’s something to show/discuss next week. (SyncTeX *is* convenient with
bigger projects! Using MuPDF lib, it should even be possible to combine SyncTeX
information with PDF annotations to get corrections from PDF into ConTeXt
sources...)
[Howto]
* No special software installation required; most modern browsers should work
(WebRTC required).
* Open the above URL, accept the privacy statement,
* enter your name,
* click "join" (or "start" if you’re the first),
* click "with microphone", allow your browser to access it, check the audio.
(Some strings might be different, I see the German interface, you should get
the main language of your browser.)
* Your microphone is muted if you join. Activate microphone and/or camera with
the buttons at the bottom.
* Minimize the default presentation with the "screen" button, bottom right.
* If you’d like to share your screen or upload a file, you can make yourself
the presenter: Click on your user name, change the setting, then you’ll see the
"screen sharing" button beside the camera button; also there’s now "manage
presentations" behind the "plus" button. Beware there is only one presenter, so
don’t kill someone else’s presentation.
[Technical hints]
* Sound is usually better if you use a headset (less noise for everyone).
* Connection problems are mostly due to low bandwidth or high latency on your
side, e.g. with mobile connections.
* If audio/video doesn’t work for you, you can still use the text chat.
* Screen sharing needs a lot of bandwidth.
* You can also join with a regular telephone (audio only, of course), call
+49-6151-86275-22 (German landline); then you must enter a PIN that changes
every time – if you need it, ask me for it via email. Mute/unmute your
microphone with "0".
[Netiquette]
* Please use a name that we recognize from here. Some feel uncomfortable with
anonymous lurkers.
* Mute your microphone while you’re not talking.
* It’s nice to show your face at least when you join.
* If there are connection problems, stop camera sharing.
* The room is set to “everyone’s a moderator“, I trust you...
Next time will be December 14th.
See you, Hraban
