Yes ... and a very hard one to install and configure. :)

I'd like us to have an instance of PB installed on a community server so we

This is something that we really need. This would speed up the organisation
process for PG conferences worldwide, and also speed up the registration
process, as speakers information will be shared among events.

As Magnus later pointed out, we were just about to raise the issue again for
PGDay EU/IT.

Thanks,
