You are cordially invited to join the 20th ConTeXt meeting. The meeting will host ConTeXt and LuaMetaTeX developers and users and gives you the opportunity to present your results, experiences and ideas on future development. The talks will be followed-up by tutorials on different ConTeXt and LuaMetaTeX techniques.


The theme for this meeting is: Focussing

Typesetting as we do with ConTeXt is pretty much related to printing or its equivalent rendering on a digital medium. Therefore several (overlapping) aspects come to mind (feel free to come up with more):

artistics
creativity
messaging
structure
personality
necessity
satisfaction

In order to position, stabilise, future proof and support a macro package like ConTeXt, including the tools needed, most prominently the LuaMetaTeX engine, we need to stay focussed. Although one can perfectly well do a lot more and embed (hide) in workflows that are often less typographic demanding, eventually the more clever, interesting and neat features in ConTeXt relate to the aspects mentioned.

We don’t need to follow the fashion in order to do so, or do we? In addition to the usual wide range of topics possible, we’d like to hear opinions on this. After all, it’s the creative, inspiring and friendly user base that keep the efforts going.


As in previous years, anything at all related to ConTeXt & LuaMetaTeX that you would like to share as a presentation, tutorial, discussion, Q&A session, demonstration, workshop, recital, sketch, or sermon.

Never been to the ConTeXt meeting? Don’t worry, the group of regular participants is open and friendly, and you don’t know what you are missing, unless you come at least once.

We hope to see you in August!
