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

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.
