Richard Palais, TUGboat, LaTeX release, TUG'26+other events, LaTeX book giveaway, Orbital Studies, CTAN
Great news from #DanteEV : After taking a bit of break, the Dante Fall Meeting is back!
This year, it will take place in Wiesbaden-Erbenheim (Germany) on September 25. and 26. One main topic will be tagging, but talks about other topics are equally welcome.
Wiesbaden is right next to Mainz, so a nice opportunity to go from the very beginnings of European movable-type printing in the Gutenberg Museum to the bleeding edge of modern typography with #TeXLaTeX at the Dante Meeting.
See the website for more information about the location, agenda and registration:

Hope to see you there!
Yeah, the new TUGboat by @TeXUsersGroup is available for members:

Wolfgang let the cat in.
Embroidery cat font, implemented in MetaFun with added color support.
I wrote an image vectorisation tool which tries to do point placement and node handles the way type designers would: smooth curves, horizontal and vertical alignment, balanced handles.
It's called glyphtracy
