Stefano Lottini edited comment on CASSANDRA-17988 at 10/27/22 12:27 PM: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ As it turned out, I managed to make the changes (and further adjustments). The PR is now complete for review. Quoting from the last commit: * larger cards (2 per row at most), with square bigger image * adjusted in-card spacing accordingly * added "Cassandra Days" blurb * mouse pointer on card is now 'default' * added Summit 2023 banner at top of page !events-B-1.png|width=360! !events-B-2-1.png|width=360! was (Author: stefano_lottini): As it turned out, I managed to make the changes (and further adjustments).

In particular, I > propose an icon for the section (a circus tent) that I hope conveys a > "playful but not silly" message; moreover, I added the "Events" page to the > "Community" navbar menu to avoid adding another menu, even though all other > "Community" menu items are from the community page. > Also I am aware that the buttons alignment on the cards is imperfect.
