Last time I was at the ConTeXt conference, a few years back, there was talk about "monetization" of ConTeXt. In other words, using ConTeXt to generate revenue. I was wondering if this is still on the agenda. Perhaps we could have a discussion on how to achieve this. I have one possible idea but I would need some feedback from the more experienced members to ascertain its viability.

Hans offered to give a Q&A session again – please announce subjects you’d like to discuss ASAP, so that he can prepare. From my part: I will show off the novel that I’m sending to the printshop tomorrow. Typeset with extreme HZ... A first run of these 332 pages needed just 33s on my old Mac – ConTeXt LMTX is fast! (In comparison: a first latexmk run of my short DTK article about the ConTeXt meeting, using the DTK LaTeX class, needed more than a minute. My ConTeXt book though, now at 298 pages and using *all* the features, needs ~8 min for a first run.) Also, I’m playing with different SyncTeX parsers for a LaTeX project, maybe there’s something to show/discuss next week. (SyncTeX *is* convenient with bigger projects! Using MuPDF lib, it should even be possible to combine SyncTeX information with PDF annotations to get corrections from PDF into ConTeXt sources...) [Howto] * No special software installation required; most modern browsers should work (WebRTC required). * Open the above URL, accept the privacy statement, * enter your name, * click "join" (or "start" if you’re the first), * click "with microphone", allow your browser to access it, check the audio. (Some strings might be different, I see the German interface, you should get the main language of your browser.) * Your microphone is muted if you join. Activate microphone and/or camera with the buttons at the bottom. * Minimize the default presentation with the "screen" button, bottom right. * If you’d like to share your screen or upload a file, you can make yourself the presenter: Click on your user name, change the setting, then you’ll see the "screen sharing" button beside the camera button; also there’s now "manage presentations" behind the "plus" button. Beware there is only one presenter, so don’t kill someone else’s presentation. [Technical hints] * Sound is usually better if you use a headset (less noise for everyone). * Connection problems are mostly due to low bandwidth or high latency on your side, e.g. with mobile connections. * If audio/video doesn’t work for you, you can still use the text chat. * Screen sharing needs a lot of bandwidth. * You can also join with a regular telephone (audio only, of course), call +49-6151-86275-22 (German landline); then you must enter a PIN that changes every time – if you need it, ask me for it via email. Mute/unmute your microphone with "0". [Netiquette] * Please use a name that we recognize from here. Some feel uncomfortable with anonymous lurkers. * Mute your microphone while you’re not talking. * It’s nice to show your face at least when you join. * If there are connection problems, stop camera sharing. * The room is set to “everyone’s a moderator“, I trust you... Next time will be December 14th.
