Okay, this is an index post basically to which I shall gradually add links into my posts from my scribbled notes of all the talks! This will just keep it all linked together in one post.
So I shall start by saying this is not 100% of every syllable spoken (I don't scribble that fast!).
But it is the main gen and as accurate as reading my scribbles can get it.
So for anyone interested who couldn't make it, or who was there and belatedly wished they'd scribbled more, this might help a bit. For the main programme this is just what they said and a few links into things they were talking about, there's no additional comment on these at all.
I've a done comments post too on thing things I particularly liked mind!
