[OSGeo-Conf] What domain name for foss4g2009?

[Gavin Fleming]

This year the domain is actually www.foss4g2008.org - the url you note is just the full site url our domain redirects to. Some Apache configs could mask that. 

There have been several discussions on this - see past threads - one suggestion was 

www.osgeo.org/conf/2008

or www.foss4g.org/2008

(osgeo was given the foss4g domain as a gift)

Tour Hosts are setting up a web site for foss4g 2009 and we need to set 
a domain name.
So far, there doesn't seem to be much consistency in the domain names:

http://conference.osgeo.org/index.php/foss4g/2008
http://www.foss4g2007.org/
http://www.foss4g2006.org/

Options we have, with my comments are:
http://foss4g2009.osgeo.org
+1 This is my preference
It associates foss4g with osgeo and ensures that osgeo will always 
control the domain name.

http://foss4g2009.org
-0
This means we will either have to buy all domain names like this now, or 
face a domain squatter stealing the domain from us.

http://2009.foss4g.org
-0
This doesn't link osgeo to foss4g.

http://foss4g2009.conference.osgeo.org
-0 This url is getting a bit long.
