TeX Live: we are currently in the pretest phase for TL'24. If you
have time and interest, please give it a try. By default, it is installed
completely separately from any other TeX installation on a given system.

As previously announced, the TeX Collection DVD will not be distributed
as a TUG membership benefit this year, due to minimal demand. We are
coordinating volunteers to burn and mail DVDs to those who still need it.
If you would like to volunteer to provide the DVD, *or* if you know you
will need the DVD (and haven't already written), please write
texdvd at tug.org so we can get a sense of what is needed. More info:
https://tug.org/texcollection


Finally, a reminder about the deadline for submissions for the next
issue of TUGboat: March 24. There is still room!

Happy TeXing!
Karl Berry, on behalf of the TUG Board
