If you want - although it brings up the messy questions about who
is included and why. In this case, contributing to writing the talk,
but also arguably the major additions in the last year.

Yes, fixing spelling, or "Biopython Project Update 2014"?

I like the idea of https://github.com/biopython/talks as a shared
repository for Biopython presentations from the team - things
like BOSC talks, or other events like the SciPy or EuroSciPy
conferences.
