Agreed, a .asp web site is quite a slap in the face for an Open Source 
conference. I'll see if we can fix that.

I'll add:

* The photo should include the Opera House, ideally in the same profile 
as the logo, in order to help people see the Opera House link to the 
logo design.

* "Committee" tab should be replaced with "Contact"
** The Contact tab should contain a list of committee members, and links 
to our wiki, public email list, and eventually an 2009info at foss4g.org 
email list (to be set up).
