The
TeX Showcase
webpage is edited by Gerben Wierda and provides
a wonderful selection of examples of the use of TeX, the typesetting engine.
It includes examples of general typesetting, graphics, dynamical documents, mathematics, languages of the world, and miscellaneous typesetting work done with TeX. See
http://www.tug.org/texshowcase/.
Thank you Gerben.
The figure at the left is a sample of Tibetan text, which describes the story of Brahman and his family.

A history recap and update on
TEXLIVE
was to have been presented at TUG 2003,
but we ran short of time.
Here are The Occult Secrets of TEXLIVE,
prepared by Sebastian Rahtz and Fabrice Popineau
for TUG 2003.
We are extremely grateful for the hard work that Sebastian Rahtz and
the TEXLIVE team do each year to produce a release of a complete TeX system, comprised of free software.
Many thanks to Martin Schröder who produced the impressive large poster prints of the TeXware drawing and the two giant poster reminders that
``TeX Needs You''. Martin is responsible for the
TeX Merchandising Project
which sells annual calendars, plush lion toys and other promotional TeX items.
A big thank you to my friend,
Cici Koenig (Caltech), who volunteered (and was not coerced) to print
the Welcome and Registration posters and the
Schedules that were on display at the registration front desk.
Cici came to the rescue the week before the conference started.
