Greetings - I hope that you have all been enjoying the Winter Olympics these past couple weeks. For some of us, maybe even in person at PyeongChang!

Deadlines for the International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition (ICFHR) are now fast approaching. Paper submission is open; please note that reviewing will be double-blind. A number of competitions are underway that we encourage you to consider participating in. There is also a call for workshops at ICFHR, both as ‘standard’ workshops, as well as less formal ‘birds-of-a-feather’ meetings for discussing topics related to handwriting recognition. A call for tutorials at ICFHR has also been released. Niagara Falls provides a particularly nice environment for thinking, walking and talking: we strongly encourage the community to take advantage of this by submitting workshop and tutorial proposals ASAP.

DAS: A call for participation in discussion groups at DAS 2018 in Vienna has been posted. Attendees at DAS are encouraged to fill out the form provided in the announcement at their earliest convenience, to help the organizers plan these sessions.
