The Communications of the TeX Users Group TUGboat 32:3, 2011

Immediate online access to technical TUGboat articles will be available to TUG members only (so some of the links below require a TUG username and password). General information items and articles already posted elsewhere are publicly available now. All of the articles will become publicly available around December 31, 2012.

Videos of many of the presentations are available, thanks to Kaveh Bazargan and River Valley Technologies.

If you're not already a member, we hope you'll consider joining TUG to support TUGboat and other TeX projects. More information on TUG member access.
