[LGM] LGM2019 – Temporary Website

[Frank Trampe]

We may wait on putting up a landing page, but I think that we need to get
the new site up as soon as possible. We can then add a post to the 2018
site saying that the event was a success and that we look forward to seeing
everybody in Saarbrücken in 2019, with a link to the new site.
