{Island of \TeX} {The Island of \TeX\ 2023\Dash sailing the smooth seas of ideas} {The Island of \TeX\ always valued community over development pace. This year, we are proud that we could convince our inner sloths to produce a long-awaited new \texttt{albatross} release and a new website for our community. On the technical side, we improved our build infrastructure and started welcoming \TeX\ packages. But in the end, this year was primarily about collecting ideas so stay tuned for our talk and call for action.}
