This was posted to the Fediverse earlier today, I replied to the post with a link to the resource [1]. As mentioned, there are a good few papers on arXiv [2]
This is a great way to bring together related resources so they can be found quickly and easily.

Write Free Software – Education resource
This was mentioned on the fediverse earlier. What looks like a new resource “A comprehensive educational resource for the Free Software movement”
This can be found here it is always good to see, fresh, new resources like this to add a new take on the issue of software freedom.

Detexify is a great resource if you want to find a common or perhaps an unusual symbol to insert in to your $\LaTeX$ document.
When you go to the Detexify website [1] you are presented with a box to draw your symbol in. For this context I have the symbols tab selected.
So in the example below I have attempted to draw pi $\pi$. You can see that the website has attempted to find symbols resemble the one I have drawn.
It works for all sorts of things as per the two examples below. You don't need to be that good at drawing the symbol as some can be pretty complex.
This also works the other way. You can enter the name and the website will try and find the corresponding symbol as per below. In this case I am using the classify tab.
In both cases the website will tell you which package you can find this symbol in, and which $LaTeX$ command to use. You can find the package on CTAN [5] for more information on how to use that package. Or you can find the documentation on TeXLive [6].
Hopefully this article is helpful and will help. It is also designed to complement the tutorials at Learn LaTeX [3] which is a new resource.
This article can also complement the upcoming 2020 release of TeX Live [6).
