Thanks.

We also talked about the authorship, and I think the general feeling
was to put "Wibowo Arindrarto, ..., and the Biopython contributors",
or was it just "Wibowo Arindrarto and the Biopython contributors"?

I've also just changed the setup.py description to say contributors
rather than consortium... not sure if I can change the PyPI page at
this point or not:
https://github.com/biopython/biopython/commit/c056f38b0ac9b261e72b249892f7009466bab64b

As an aside, to help Google Scholar tell this apart from past Biopython
update talks, I suggest we put 2014 in the title.

I was thinking of suggesting a new repository for this and the past
talk abstracts (and even slides), e.g.
