 Koen and Sanne, the people leading GUADEC organisation this year, are
 having a lot of trouble finding people who are motivated and available
 to ensure that the GUADEC website is up to scratch, looking pretty and
 appetising, and with relevant content easy to find.
 
 First, have a look at http://www.guadec.org to see what the state of
 play is - it's a standard OpenConferenceWare set-up, from what I can
 tell, with very little styling or graphical content.
 
 Some suggested improvements which could get done quickly would be to
 start announcing keynotes for this year, or advertising past speakers 
 keynotes (photos and content), creating a GUADEC logo for this year's
 conference (or at the very least, revisiting the old one which has been
 in use since 2006), and proposing an alternative layout  styling which
 better matches GNOME's visual identity.
 
 Are there people here who have some time over the next couple of weeks
 to help them? I'm not sure where the CMS is installed, or what would be
 involved in getting changes made to it, but let's do what we can to
 improve the site and allow the GUADEC organisers to concentrate on the
 business of making the conference great.

Ehrmz, people are working on this. There is a new design, ready to go online.
There's 3 people already on the web team.

If anyone is interested in helping out, sure that'd be great. But the above
text is perhaps a bit misleading.

There is already a logo btw, so before anyone starts putting a lot of effort
in this, let's first wait for Vinicius to finish his work on the site so we
can see what's there already.
