Jachym,
all fine except that for archiving reasons it may be good to copy a
static copy of the conference pages to OSGeo servers eventually - at
latest after the event. Therefore maybe the LOC would be happy to
maintain the web site on OSGeo servers to start with.

We might want to advise the LOC to implement their event website in an
archivable format (avoid dynamic systems which require lots of
maintenance, etc.). Registration, paper submission, etc. can be dynamic
and get thrown away after use. The main page, abstract and presentation
archive should be simple HTML.

Once agreed this is again something for the handbook...

Cheers,
Arnulf
