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.
