There is a war in the country where I was born, and for days I could do almost nothing but scrolling the news, talking to friends there or trying to get distracted by routine work. We all thought that European wars were left behind in the last century - and turned out to be wrong. When I am writing this, there are more than a million Ukrainian refugees, and the number increases every day. You may want to help them: either directly or by donating to a reputable organization near you. Please do so. These people need your help right now. I also would like to mention another category of people affected by the war: citizens of Russia and Belarus. Some of them live near you. Please be kind to them; they also may need your help. Now to the TeX news. - TeX Live 2022 is now in the pretest phase. If you want to help, or are curious about what's included, take a look: https://tug.org/texlive/pretest.html - Submissions for the next TUGboat are welcome; the deadline is March = 31. https://tug.org/TUGboat/ - TUG 2022 (https://tug.org/tug2022/) will be online and held on July 22-24, 2022.
