I am Hans.
Every 22th of the month Ole Tange releases a new version of GNU Parallel.
Each release has a name of an event which has just happen within this
month. You can read more about it in this thread:

It happens so that I have been married to Vibeke for 12½ years as of
2015-08-22 which also is the release date of GNU Parallel. Ole was invited
to the party, and named it after that. BTW in Denmark we call 12½ years of
wedding "copper wedding".
Releases can not have special characters like '&' because of Twitter etc,
so the release name was not "Hans & Vibeke 12½ years", which would be more
informative.
Did I miss anything?
