[OSGeo-Conf] 2007 Site Live

[Paul Ramsey]

I'm going to stick with the conference committee we have now. The 
international aspect will be reflected by the OSGEO members, who are 
from the (international) parent organization.

Information is flowing through the conference list and the osgeo 
conference list here, for those who want to add their opinions and help 
out with marketing and promotion.
