The seventeenth ConTEXt meeting will take place in Prague–Sibřina, Czech Republic on September 10th–16th, 2023 Anyone who has not been to Sibřina is missing something!

I’m not a dev but I’ll be there.

I guess I just what to get a feeling what to expect at a TUG conference. I’ve never been to a TUG conference, but it’s also a DANTE conference, and I wouldn’t hesitate to talk about ConTeXt – your example is a good one to get people interested, I think. I’ll probably show how I make our architectural guides for Bonn – I suggested to have a guided tour to one of the HICOG settlements (that were built for the American forces and their German employees) with the group that’s behind the guides (Werkstatt Baukultur Bonn). Since I’ll be there on company time (I’m now working for my former main customer), I’ll probably also help presenting our LaTeX3-based documentation workflow.
