Holidays are somewhat over, time to start sending emails again. :)

First thanks Chris for reaching out to the author. Bring developers of 
projects to our region, whether virtually or in-person, is awesome!

FYI I am scheduled to do a Parallel per-presentation on 2023-01-08
* https://kwlug.org/node/1360
* https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/parallel_tutorial.html

Hopefully this will get enough of us up to speed on parallel, to get the 
most out of a more technical presentation.

I will mostly go through the tutorial, and review anything that I had a 
hard time with. I have also not used parallels before, so this will also 
be a relatively fresh eyed walk through.

If nothing else, this will be a scheduled time to do the tutorial while 
you listen to me! :)


All the best and Happy New Year,

Andrew
