I agree that we need to put up a website for FUDCon Pune as a priority.

For the points you mentioned in another email:

FAS should be perferred, however not all attendees would have a FAS
account. Maybe we can use OpenID.

I don't really know about Drupal theming. So I can't say how to do it
properly. However, I think we can split up the work into two parts:
* making the website functional
* creating a Drupal theme
This way we can do them in parallel.

Agreed and here is what we need:
* a place where hosting space where we can collaboratively tweak and
test the COD installation
* fixup meeting timings for discussions
Let us meet on IRC in the evening today on #fedora-websites at 6:00PM ?
