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

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.
