| Description | On March 19, 2026, Frank Mittelbach, long-time LaTeX team leader, received an honorary doctorate. The Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University, has recognized his profound contributions in the document and software engineering areas of Computer Science, and submitted a proposal to the university’s scientific senate based on Frank’s achievements and qualities. And the senate approved it! This paper summarizes the reasoning behind this choice and reports on related events that happened in Brno, linking them to the honorary doctorate of Masaryk University from 1996, when the recipient was Donald Knuth. |
