Thanks Niels - it was a much needed upgrade, and it did go surprisingly well.

The conference data is still accessible from the old data, and we will
rebuild that module and get it loaded back in ASAP.

I believe the only upcoming conference that was listed was the
Chemnitzer Linux-Tage, and we can probably put together a short front
page news article to make up for the missing conference posting. I
will try to work with Axel and Stephan to pound out some details for
this year's attendance of that show.

Thanks Niels, but I think you did most of the real work here ;)
