Hello all,

We are pleased to announce the first newsletter of 2021. As you can see there is a lot happening this month, starting with a working groups call about one hour from now.

Thank you for persevering through 2020, and we hope that 2021 will be a better year for the world, and for this community.

Dave Clements and Beatriz Serrano-Solano
