Well you need to determine what your logo for the conference will be, a
new one, or reuse last years. We then need to work up the colors to
match the site.

Nilayan,  The site is written in django. The codebase is currently
available via subversion but it will be transferred to git soon.

I will transfer the old site to a backup url,  such as 2008.gnome.asia.

realistically we should make the base url of the gnome.asia conference
2009.gnome.asia  and redirect the other requests to it. so that
permanent links will work.

The templates for the site are easy to update and a new layout can be
worked up nicely. 

You are going to need information about the venue,  local area,
directions,  etc etc  for the website.

Sincerely,
