If you encounter an error like the one below, see this fix in lubridate issue #928

Error: Problem with `mutate()` input `start_datetime`.
x CCTZ: Unrecognized timezone: "America/New_York"
ℹ Input `start_datetime` is `lubridate::force_tzs(start_datetime, "EST", tzone_out = timezone)`.

If you don't want to scrape the data, you can build a calendar using a (corrected) CSV shared by Hadley: schedule-from-organizers-fixed.csv

• Corrected/fixed means it corrects 2020 in the dates to 2021
