    • In view of the great line-up of wonderful speakers, and the strong feedback that our speaker sessions (and the recordings) have really been useful to the community, we could consider doing speaking sessions twice a month - one on the regular Thursdays, and the other on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday (outside of the regilar call day) so that people (speaker or audience) who has a standing conflict on Thursdays could be accomodated too.
