As one of the original proponents of the 12-12-15 system, I think
8-8-8-12 is a worthy successor... :)

I think if people are in town, or if there are things people want to
learn about (are there? bring them up on list?) we can arrange the odd
talk, but I'm not sure it would be a great idea to "add them to the
schedule" and risk ending up having scheduled talks when we don't
especially have anyone to talk or anything to talk about. Certainly when
it was starting out in Cardiff there was some bumbling around with a
room in the uni and some PCs and fiddling, and then (almost) everyone
went to the pub and enjoyed that much better. :)

Of course, you should be rightly cynical of my input because I spend the
majority of my time in Cambridge... :)
