[Biopython-dev] Biopython update talk at BOSC 2014

[Wibowo Arindrarto]

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the feedback. I have updated the abstract and you can
access it here: http://bit.ly/biopython_bosc_2014_02. In addition to
the changes you suggested, I added Michiel in the authors list as
well.

May I also ask what I should put as your affiliation :)? I think I
only have mine and Peter's at the moment, and I'm not sure if I could
get the most recent affiliations by scouring the web ;).

Best,
Bow
