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 ([http://icfhr2018.org ICFHR])''' are now fast approaching. [http://icfhr2018.org/submit-paper.html Paper submission] is open; please note that reviewing will be double-blind. A number of [http://icfhr2018.org/competitions.html 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.

		+
		+	According to a long-standing tradition at the DAS workshops, we will hold small-group discussions on topics of special interest to attendees. It is a nice opportunity to meet other researchers and discuss on relevant topics for the community. Everyone is welcome to participate in the discussions. Moreover, each group needs a moderator and a scribe. Their roles are:
		+
		+	* The moderator encourages everyone to speak and helps to focus and clarify the discussion.
		+	* The scribe takes written notes of the discussion and summarizes the results in a plenary session.
		+
		+	The moderator and the scribe will co-author a short summary report after the workshop is over, which will be posted to the workshop website and at the TC-11 website (http://www.iapr-tc11.org/mediawiki/index.php/DAS-Discussion:Index). The names of the moderators and scribes will be also listed at the website.
		+
		+	Please fill this form (https://goo.gl/forms/11S842VWuvfIbAAB2) choosing the topics of your interest, and feel free to propose some.
		+
		+	We are looking forward to your participation! Please contact the Discussion Groups coordinators with your suggestions and ideas:
