Hello
Here is some sad news, communicated to the members of UK TUG by Joseph Wright.

Hi
Tomorrow's TeX Hour continues from last month's topic: Better Technical Documentation.
Date and time: Thursday 17 March, 6:30 to 7:30pm UK (and UTC) time. UK time now: https://time.is/UK. Zoom URL: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/78551255396?pwd=cHdJN0pTTXRlRCtSd1lCTHpuWmNIUT09
Last month's meeting was based on a "needs discovery" meeting organised by Daniele Procida, who I've met several times at UK Python conferences. Daniele is now one of several Directors of Engineering at Canonical, the developers of Ubuntu Linux, where he has special responsibility for improving both documentation and the process by which it is created.
