Hi Jachym,
foss4g.org was down but is back up running now (thanks Martin). Both
http://2014.europe.foss4g.org/ and
http://europe.foss4g.org/
do not exist or do not work yet.

http://foss4g-e.org/ works and has a nice landing space. So this is
apparently only waiting for DNS configuration. I just want to make sure
that the URL does not change during conference preparation and confuse
people. The first links are already out there. We should make sure that
as long we have foss4g-e.org we let it redirect to http://europe.foss4g.org/

Cheers,
Arnulf
