The Indian TEX Users
Group (TUGIndia) was founded in 1997 to provide
leadership for users of TEX,
Donald Knuth's
revolutionary typesetting system. It represents the interests of
TEX users
in India: if you use TEX in any of its forms, you may consider
joining TUGIndia (see the Aims and
Benefits). |

Structure of TUGIndia
TUGIndia is democratic and is run by and for its members. Any member
can stand for election to the Executive Board. The office is run by
the Secretary and the secretariat, and there is a wide range of
other committees to handle
technical and administrative matters. TUGIndia maintains close ties with

Information about the International
TEX Users Group
(TUG)
Awards
The Knuth Scholarship is awarded each year for the best
original
project using
TEX
developed by a non-technical user. The award
consists of an expenses-paid (not to exceed $2000) trip to
the next
annual meeting.
TEX Archives,
Standards and Software
A TUG Technical Council working group defined a standard
network
archive for
TEX
software, the
Comprehensive
TEX Archive
Network (CTAN).
This is a mirrored
network of ftp servers at
ftp.tex.ac.uk
and
ftp.dante.de
which are
widely
mirrored
and hold up-to-date copies of all the
public-domain
versions of
TEX,
LaTEX,
Metafont and ancillary programs.
TUG also helped to develop, and sells, a CDROM called
TEX
Live, which contains ready-to-run
TEX systems for
most types of Unix and Windows, and a very complete tree of
fonts and macros arranged according to the standard
TEX
directory structure (TDS) created by a Technical
Council working group. This will be updated regularly. As
a service to our membership, we hope to provide information
on new publications of interest to
TEX users, as
well as links to the various publishing sites to enable
users speedy access to new publications (as well as old)
and ordering information.
