The Systems Committee would have to get the DNS going and then we'd  
need a site to point it to.  Perhaps for now we can have it point to:
http://www.osgeo.org/conference - and add pointers to the past year  
events from that page.

In my opinion, it would be ideal to have a standard conference system  
running on that domain.  I set up the Open Conference System at:
http://osgeo.org/ocs - but am not sure if anyone other than me has  
looked at it.  I believe it would be best if we could use/re-use a  
system like that instead of having each event invent their own.  It  
is ideal for allowing managers to manager single event instances.  We  
could also use it to host/manage other events outside of the annual  
FOSS4G International event.
