[Homepage] ApacheCon graphic/link in footer.html

Hello all,

I have found an older version of footer.html.
In 2014 there was a graphic/link to "ApacheCon Europe" on the left side
of the footer:

 <!-- Add a banner logo and link to announce an event and to show it in
the footer on the left.
    <div id="asfbanner">
      <p>
        <a href="http://apachecon.com/">
          <img src="http://www.openoffice.org/images/2014-eu-234x60.png"
alt="Logo ApacheCon Europe 2014" />
        </a>
      </p>
    </div>
    -->

I would like to re-introduce that with the current graphic/link for
"ApacheCon North America".
The footer would look more "balanced" again and it shows our integration
in the ASF.

If no-one objects within three days, I'll assume lazy consensus and will
begin with the work after Christmas. ;-)

regards, Matthias

Well, after ApacheCon is before ApacheCon. ;-) So it is practically
permanent.

Any other ideas for a graphic? "Powered by Apache"?

https://www.apache.org/foundation/press/kit/#per-project-powered-by-logos
https://www.apache.org/foundation/press/kit/poweredBy/pb-openoffice.psd
(That is the official one, I would prefer the orb in the middle)

Or just another AOO logo?

as long as the switch is set to "true". One day I will implement a date 
check to enable and disable the box depending on the date.

Of course you can integrate it in the footer, too. But it's then double 
and I think it's looking unnecessary or even stupid.

I have seen it. And I have nothing against a special box. It will be
permanent then?

I would only waste a couple of minutes. ;-)
And something has to be done with the footer, it looks terrible on wide
screen displays.

Hi Marcus,

"technical problem" does not sound good...

I enabled the box now (or better late last night... ;-) )
I think may, 16-18 is right although apachecon.com mentions 15-19.

due to a technical problem I'm not able to do any changes at the moment.
So, if you have a graphic and text available, you can exchange the data in
"msg_prop_l10n.js". It's the "l10n.index_event_box_..." variables. Finally,
don't forget to enable the event box with "l10n.index_event_box_show".

Hi Marcus,

I planned to post a link to ApacheCon on Google+ together with your
"special box".
Now, almost 3 weeks later I posted it anyway...

Can I help you to get this on the website?

after that a lot has happened to the homepage. We now have a special box 
to announce events like the ApacheCon on the top. Maybe you haven't seen 
the previous one for November.

Furthermore, when you put such eye-catcher int othe footer then IMHO you 
are wasting your time as the footer is not always visible (e.g., maybe 
the user has to scroll to see everything).

Sorry, yes. ;-)

In this case I'm already working on a new graphic + text for the new box.
