Henning Hraban Ramm: I'm a typesetter (media designer) and printing engineer and live at Lake Constance, Switzerland.

I use ConTeXt at work for some automated tasks (like simple business cards and CD covers of backups), and at home (honorary) sometimes for books (see Verlag Deutsche Unitarier, publishing house of the German Unitarian fellowship).

My "paper brain" (date book, address book, songbook) is also typeset with ConTeXt. I keep my addresses in a MySQL database and use a Python script to write ConTeXt code. Another Python script calculates my calendar (including moon phases), reads some lists of holiday, birthday and appointment data and writes TeX code again. The songbook is made of ConTeXt component files with LilyPond scores. ConTeXt's imposing feature let me collect several planner pages on one A4 sheet. The remaining nasty work is cutting the printed paper. I'm planning to write a report about all that (but I'm always planning a lot)...

I love fonts and therefore provide some free fonts (re-)packaged for ConTeXt at fiëé teXnique (sorry, outdated; will replace them with MkIV adapted versions sometime...).
