Tanner,

While technically we could redirect 2012.foss4g.org to somewhere we
control, I believe that would be inappropriate.  The current web site,
flawed though it is, was recently put in place by the LOC and is
available for them to revise.   I do not think it would be encouraging
the correct sort of responsibility for us to seize it out of the LOCs
hands.

Best regards,
