Dear TUG members,

- Software: The TeX Collection DVD was mailed a few weeks ago to all
 (non-electronic) TUG members.  It contains the new releases of TeX
 Live, ProTeXt, MacTeX, and a CTAN snapshot.
 http://tug.org/texcollection/

- TUGboat: the third issue for 2008 was mailed a few weeks ago.  The
 next TUGboat issue will appear in spring 2009.  Articles are most
 welcome, as always; the deadline for submissions is March 31.

- Interview Corner: an interview with Boguslaw Jackowski and Janusz
 Marian Nowacki, with samples of many of their fonts, has been posted.
 Work on the printed book of interviews is continuing.

- Donations: a reminder that TUG has received a renewed development
 grant from the same anonymous donor who generously provided support
 last year, including a matching challenge of $10,000.  We are raising
 some institutional support, but individual contributions of any size
 are very welcome and very important, both to TUG and to the donor.  So
 please consider donating to the development fund in general, or a
 specific development project: https://www.tug.org/donate/

- The journal Mathematics in Computer Science has issued a call for
 papers for a special issue on authoring, digitalization and management
 of mathematical knowledge, topics that have always been part of the
 TeX world.  The deadline is January 5, 2009.

- One bit of Knuthian news: Knuth is no longer routinely writing
 personal checks to finders of bugs, but creating personal certificates
 of deposit (in hexadecimal dollars) at the Bank of San Seriffe.

And the upcoming 2009 conferences:

 April 29-May 3, 2009.  http://www.gust.org.pl/BachoTeX/2009/main-en.html

- TUG 2009 will be held at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend,
 Indiana, USA, from July 28-31, 2009.  http://tug.org/tug2009/

- EuroTeX 2009 will be held in The Hague, The Netherlands, from
 August 24-28, 2009.  http://www.ntg.nl/EuroTeX2009/


As always, we appreciate your support!
