[OSGeo-Conf] Re: [Foss4g2009] What domain name for foss4g2009?

[Paul Ramsey]

I'd suggest you make

http://www.foss4g.org/2009

the canonical address, as a surprising number of people are attached
to that 'www'. Then you'll want to stand for www.foss4g2009.org and
foss4g2009.org, with Redirect entries, for legacy searchers, and
finally ensure that http://foss4g2009.org/2009 also has a Redirect, so
that all the search engine entries end up with exactly the same URL
pattern.

So the SEO people tell me, and so I believe :)
