1)
I echo Simon's note about relative links. It also
applies to the Darling Harbour Map PDF link on:
http://www.tourhosts.com.au/testdev/foss4g/venue/

2)
Committee page:
Please change my entry to remove "Consultant, and"
(I've just accepted a job offer, so won't be
a self-employed consultant any more)

3)
Remove the use of target="_blank" from all links
in the website. It's not proper best practice
from a world wide web usability point of view.

4)
Re dates - they are correct as October 20-23,
which is Tuesday through Friday. Simon - the
Workshops would be on the 20th(not the 19th),
and the Code Sprint isn't "officially" part
of the conference from the point of view of
advertising dates(as it doesn't apply to the
majority of delegates).

5)
I don't have any objection to the "Stay Connected"
sidebar being as Simon suggested, but the same
set of links(wiki, mailing list, twitter feed)
need to be on the Contacts page.

6)
The "Stay Connected" section(and Contacts page)
needs a link to the IRC channel:
irc://irc.freenote.net/foss4g
so something like this(read this in plain text)
<a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/foss4g">IRC</a> (#foss4G on freenode.net)
