The association GUTenberg The association GUTenberg is one of the main TeX users groups. Due to the fact that GUTenberg is composed of French-speaking people it can work tightly with the newly international TeX Users Group (TUG). GUTenberg was officially created in 1988 and is a non-profit association of researchers, academic people and also professionals of publishing like editors, printers as well as companies working on various economic areas. One of the main goals of this association is to `` favour technical exchanges allowing the growth of printing facilities and of scientific publishing.'' In such a way, it is delighted to study all new products coming from the TeX community and other software domains. GUTenberg is the editor of a quarterly journal named "Cahiers GUTenberg", distributor of various TeX versions and other components of TeX applications. It offers a discussion list on network which may be accessed from any network connected to EARN. 7. Advice for exhibitors The show-room dedicated to exhibitors is relatively tiny. Please get in touch as quickly as possible with the organisation committee. 8. Sponsors A lot of companies and public organizations intend to sponsor GUTenberg'90. The full list of these organizations will be printed when the deals will be put in concrete form. 9. Sightseeing Toulouse town, the place of congress is such an historical site that you must not leave this beautiful `pink' city without visiting it. Other places distant of Toulouse from a hundreth of miles are very exciting, for example the fortress of Carcassonne and also a lot of landscapes or villages in the Pyr\'en\'ees mountains. Have a good trip in the Midi-Pyr\'en\'ees and Languedoc-Roussillon districts.
