I'm leaning more towards "{ the current list of authors }, and the
Biopython contributors". Is this ok?

Hmm..something like "The 2014 Bioptyhon Project Update"?

Not just for bosc_talks but just talks (e.g.
https://github.com/biopython/talks) in general perhaps? Then there is
also space for other more general biopython-related talks too (e.g.
tutorials)?

Cheers,
