Hunting for conference materials

Hi all

The web followup on the Plone conferences can improve.  (Please pardon my
leaving out many "IMHO" below.)

- The current conference site should link to previous conferences, or to
  http://plone.org/events/conferences/
  This improves continuity and better rewards the investment in preparing &
  recording of previous years' sessions.

- The conference pages under http://plone.org/events/conferences/ are mostly
  calls for proposals. After a conference, the call for proposals should be
  moved into an archive folder, and be replaced by links to retrospectives and
  recordings of sessions.

- The official conference sites are naturally forward-looking (last year's site
  starts with: "Almost time!"). However this means that they're not useful
  to revisit after the fact. It would be cool if they aggregated and/or
  collected photos, posts, etc. about the event.

  Actually the schedule in the http://2011.ploneconf.org/ site links to Fuze
  audio recordings of the sessions, and the site has a "Watch the talks
  online!" area which links to Fuze. It wasn't obvious to me that these are
  recorded sessions, not live, and it isn't highlighted on the site.

- http://lanyrd.com/2011/ploneconf/ looks pretty good, and will probably get
  better for subsequent conferences. Right now its site link is old though
  (http://ploneconf.org/).  Perhaps a permalink could be provided for sites
  like lanyrd to use?

- I tried http://2010.ploneconf.org/ but ended up on a domain parking site.

- At the moment I believe videos are spread among third-party sites, like
  blip.tv, youtube, fuzemeeting, ... I see that conference recordings are
  being uploaded to http://archive.org/details/opensource_movies
  Perhaps that's a good place to preserve all the videos together in the
  longer term.

- Plone.org should give a hand to community and regional events also.
  http://plone.org/events/regional lists some (in no particular order), but
  http://plone.org/events/community shows only upcoming events.
