[Nottingham] RFC: Proposed talks/events for 2005

[Martin]

Folks,

 From my list from the end of last year, I'm going to be sketching out 
some dates later today.

Here's your chance to give comment/requests. Things can still be changed 
as we go along ofcourse.

There's too much to include in just one year of meetings, so any 
comments given will be given priority.

What do you folks think?


Regards,
Martin



My ideas for next talks (in no particular order!):
