[FOSS4G-Oceania] Website CFP pages - please check

[Martin Tomko]

We still can have this as a hidden website, with the link circulated internally first through interested parties. If we do not collect enough students ( and I doubt we can get 15) then we advertise broadly?

Good point Sarah, re: Volunteers. Philip has agreed to take on the Volunteer Lead role, so perhaps this can be one of the tasks - to figure out what could go here. One consideration is that we only have 15 tickets allocated for volunteers, and there has been talk of using Uni students to fill these roles. So we need to determine whether we actually want to actively recruit on the website. But let's flag it as something for Philip to work on (with this group's help, as needed).

Re: menu items. The suggestion is to group different forms of participation (attend, present, sponsor) under one menu item. I like this in principle, but it feels oh-so-slightly more difficult to navigate. I'm thinking of potential sponsors who might be looking for the sponsorship prospectus, or some attendees who might not necessarily think of themselves as participants (even if we do). In this case, I'd lean toward more top-level menu items that are more granular and have specific calls to action (eg. attend, sponsor, present). I'm not dead set on this approach but it feels more navigable & accessible to me.
