Set up our own Indico instance to host XDC website
Currently, we are hosting XDC 2020 in LWN.net's Indico instance as we did with XDC 2019 website. Because of that, we need to delegate the website creation, maintenance and other things to others.
Even worse, that instance has some hacks, like the sponsorbox (a frame showed in all the pages with the sponsor logos) which are great for us but upstream thinks they should be part of the theme really. As modifying this sponsorbox requires access to the server (which we don't have for LWN.net ones), this setup complicates things unnecessary.
The solution for the long term (XDC 2021 and onwards) should be to host an Indico instance in our servers. Therefore we don't disturb others for website creation and so on.
