mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

[marc lalaude-labayle <address@hidden>]

Hi to all.

I do hope you're all OK.

I just made a two hours "web"class with texmacs as the whiteboard : just great.

For professional reasons, I wanted to use institutional tools : no zoom neither discord. So we chose wiziq in moodle (Bigbluebutton being out of order : too many connexions). And with the chat, the pdfs of my exercises and the screenshare of texmacs it was convincing.

I'll write to the colleagues of my organisation to make some publicity.

Thanks for such a great tool.

Best wishes to all of you.

Marc

Dear Max,

I have access to YouTube but I know that in China it is blocked. I think that it is possibly important to advertise TeXmacs in China. I was supposing that if we can offer highly compressed and somehow low resolution version (say, in only several megabytes), then we can upload it on our own server, but I don't know whether it is possible.

Best wishes,

Frank

Dear Max,

Thanks for that. I hope that the tutorial video in question would also be available on the official site (it would also be beneficial to have a possibly low resolution version available on the official website for those who don't have access to YouTube) and announced in the forum, of the existence of which more users will be aware.

 can you suggest a platform which is accessible to you? I suppose youtube is blocked by a firewall?

 I'm not thinking to do it myself right now. :) I was hoping somebody would take up the task. (personally I'm deep into the rabbit hole to port TeXmacs to guile 2+)

I found this very nice video of Vincent:

Somebody could do a similar video in english, even less fancy, more like Joris' tutorials.

This would be very useful to popularize TeXmacs in this period.

Best wishes,

Dear all,

 in this global virus crisis, me and many of my colleagues mathematicians need to broadcast lectures from home. Typical solution is either use slides or virtual blackboards connected to a tablet. I was wondering if there is an opportunity to advertise TeXmacs as an alternative solution. I myself did once a seminar using TeXmacs "live", that is projecting the TeXMacs window while writing the content as I would have done for a blackboard talk.

If some of you have some time and energy it would be nice to have another small video to show how to use TeXmacs to do online learning.

We could show a simulated lecture where you use the beamer mode as a balckboard to illustrate some theorem and maybe do some drawing, etc... I think some people could be interested in this solution. Handwriting is sometime not so pretty and preparing LaTeX slides time-consuming. So we could have some new users. Especially if we explain simple ways to do things.

I tried to send around your Joris' video where he prepares slides but a more targeted tutorial/presentation would be more interesting.

Vincent? you already have some experience in this. Maybe you could prepare a small example video for french speaking math teachers (either in schoor or at university)?


Best
Max
