[foss4g2014] [OSGeo-Conf] Conference software

[Eli Adam]

I have a task (unassigned) in teamwork for this.  It references
http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1008, we might want to put this on
OSGeo infrastructure rather then just taking over payments then giving
payments to next LOC.

Darrell, should you assign all tasks in teamwork?  If people don't
like the task they can unassign themselves?
