I've been out looking for some additional sponsors. As part of this I've been putting together some options for the sponsors including the one similar to our "Powered by Dell" icon (This needs to find its way onto the http://fedoraproject.org/ page)
Here's what I'd like to propose (please comment if you have any ideas)
I'm not sure if this last part is feasible or practical but I'd like to add something like the "Powered by Dell" somewhere on all of our pages that uses local content. Here's the scenario:
fedoraproject.org is being served out of 3 locations. 1 is the PHX datacenter hosted by red hat, one is $RANDOMHOSTINGPROVIDER in the US and one is $RANDOMHOSTINGPROVIDER in Japan. fedoraproject.org renders identically on each site except the 'powered' or 'provided by' icon which would be different depending on which servers they happened to hit. The only way I can think of to do this in a practice way is with javascript though I haven't put together a proof of concept.
Remember the page we distribute needs to be the same on each server so my thought was to include a file 'sponsor.js' and then our sponsor.js and images would just be different on each box depending on where it was hosted.
working draft of the requested static sponsor's page sponsors.html
diff showing css changes and some other file additions for the mock up sponsor_css_diff_others.txt
I've attached 2 files that i think will help get us started down the road getting this ticket complete. One is a draft of a sponsors.html file, the other a diff with the css changes to align the sponsor section properly.

This is a good start. I was actually hoping to just include the company logos at first. Maybe in a grid that goes 3 across and down from there. My Design stinks though, what do you guys think?

I've attached 2 files, replacements of the others. These files have no 'navigation' and the sponsors are 3 by 3. I thought it would be an easier decision if we could see it. Let me know what you'd all like to see here.

Ok, we have http://fedoraproject.org/sponsors up. I'm going to move the individual site stuff to F9.
Our sponsorship setup is in much better shape now, and I believe serverbeach is happy with what we've done with fedora-hosted. I'll call this one fixed.
