Hi

The TeX Hour for the next three weeks (Thursday 7, 14 and 21 July) will be
an Open Space. All  are welcome, especially from beginners and outsiders. I
hope to hold further Open Space meetings on Accessibility later this year.

TeX Hour: Open Space: Thursday 7, 14, 21 July, 6:30 to 7:30pm UK time.

Here are my links for the Open Hours. But your contributions will get
priority (if you wish).

TeX Conference
=============
The 2022 TeX Conference is July 22 to 24 July. https://tug.org/tug2022/.
Registration (free or donation) is still open.

International Congress of Mathematicians
================================
The 2022 International Congress of Mathematicians is happening right now.
The ICM was due to be held in St Petersburg, Russia. At short notice it's
been replaced by an online conference, with in-person events in Finland.
This enormous step will influence mathematical communication for many years.

The prizes were announced yesterday (in Finland, and streamed on YouTube).

 Anything related to the ICM is welcome at the Open Space. I've a special
interest in the mathematics of June Huh, who was awarded the first Fields
Medal for combinatorics.
