A quick note on anachronistic traditions:
Please be aware that on Sunday, 13 March, 2022, at 2:00 AM, the eastern USA will switch to Daylight Savings Time, resulting in clocks being advanced by an hour. If you are joining us from a location or a country that does not engage in this game of temporal leapfrog, please calculate the time difference between your time zone and Eastern Daylight Time so you can join the workshop on schedule.
