	<!-- notes:
		- standard RSS nodes:
		    - category - will represent the programme (values above)
		    - link and guid must be the same, or we should then consider removing guid
		    - description will contain 1-2 sentences, plus the dates/location texts
		    - pubDate - will contain the date/time when the event has been added into the RSS feed and on event pages
		- new custom nodes in RSS:
		    - itm:eventStartDate - start day of event (both single/multi-day events; empty if date is TBC)
		    - itm:eventEndDate - end day of event (for multi-day events; empty otherwise)
		- event date and location will be written in description, and will contain rel="blank" and rel="external"
		    - these will work correctly on our pages (the script should catch them ... otherwise we'll amend it slightly to understand onload event of the calendar (?)
		    - they shouldn't cause any problems in RSS readers, the attributes should be ignored

	  <description><![CDATA[In today’s business environment, efficiency and control, as well as business innovation and flexibility, are essential for success. Business Process Management (BPM) helps accelerate process improvements, and facilitates business innovation and agility.  Business flexibility allows you to quickly react to changes in your business environment. You can exploit more effectively new market opportunities, adapt to customer demands, and handle competitive threats.  Innovation is about change, and IBM Business Process Management enabled by the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) makes it easier to change by providing an environment for IT and Lines of Business professionals to do so.  Business efficiency and flexibility is achievable.<br/><br/><strong>Date: </strong><a href="//www.ibm.com/events/wwe/grp/grp006.nsf/enrollall?openform&amp;seminar=EE7D5CES&amp;locale=en_GB">24 November 2009</a><br/><strong>Location: </strong><a href="//www.ibm.com/uk/locations/bedfont.html">IBM Bedfont Lakes</a>]]></description>

	  <description><![CDATA[IBM is proud to be sponsoring the Butler BPM &amp; SOA Symposium in London on 17th November, 2009.<br/>2009 will be a defining year for BPM and SOA. With the financial climate at the forefront of all decision-making processes, every investment is likely to be scrutinised to ensure that it represents real value to the organisation. It is important that ‘real value’ is not misinterpreted as ‘short-term cost saving’, for it is not possible to lay down an architectural framework for business agility without incurring costs. The cost barrier is being steadily lowered thanks to competition from open source products and a greater awareness of the adoption practices that deliver results in the shortest time - but the need for investment still exists. Come and listen and take part in the discussions about the impact of these changes.<br/><br/><strong>Date: </strong>17 November 2009<br/><strong>Location: </strong>America Square Conference Centre, London<br/><a href="http://www.butlergroup.com/symposiumIntroduction.asp?mcr=BPM171109&amp;scr=BPM09">Learn more &amp; register</a>]]></description>
