The Lyra Conference 2006 Imaging Symposium is underway right now.  It's a conference for the printing industry and this year has some XPS content in it.  Along with that some press-releases usually hit.  Sofware Imaging has put one out announcing some work they are doing with Global Graphics.  Press release is here.    I usually go to this conference, as it is hard to it pass up going to Palm Springs with all the gloomy weather here...but with shipping looming closer, I am not straying too far from Redmond these days.
