[Sotm-asia] Welcome and Help Plan SotM Asia 2013!

[Kate Chapman]

Hi Taichi-san,

Great!  I think putting a placeholder in place would be good. We could
maybe just have a few elements on the site:

1. say that the conference is going to happen in 2013
2. put a link to the wiki page for those that want to help plan
3. have somewhere people can enter their email address for when
registration starts.

What do you think?

Best,

-Kate
