We also had this somewhere in the early stages:

(which I used on the very limited edition promo shirts)

That's also why I tried OCS this time as the underlying system, because
there was an expressed need to have some system that can be re-used each
year and for other conferences as well, while archiving previous years
sites in a consistent matter. OCS makes all this possible, so if we like
it it might end up being used again.

Or just link to http://www.writingtravellers.com/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=The_Hague :)

No, drafting the content on the wiki is good, we need to think a bit
about the structure though. Because unlike a wiki, OCS is not an unstructured
repository of documents.
