I want to make sure that somebody at ASF is actually taking responsibility for the content of the image at that location (and any corresponding links which wrap it) up-to-date, and it isn't getting lost into the infinite well of forgetting :) Even a simple change, like replacing it with a transparent image or a generic image for "ASF Events" (same size image, of course) keeps the project pages from looking stale when visited. > Thanks for the question! > > -- > > - Shane > https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/resources > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org > >
