[Conference-europe] web page of foss4g-europe

[Jeff McKenna]

Jachym, agreed, but I'd rather someone such as Maria or Maxi own the 
foss4g.it domain (what a nice domain!), and we could just have it 
redirect to your event domain anyway.

In any case, now that I said this publicly one of us should grab the 
domain today, before someone 'parks' the domain and tries to sell it to 
us, which has happened to me before.
