Hi Rich,

Heads up - the link for "Add larger banners" serves up content that is
outdated.

     https://apache.org/ads/adserver.txt

suggests you add an iframe with

     http://www.apache.org/ads/buttonbar.html

in it, which links to a banner photo for 2017's ApacheCon in Miami.

The same is true for all of the HTML files under /ads, and the
http://www.apache.org/ads/ApacheCon/ directory doesn't have any 2018
images in it, either.

Hmm. I was unaware of the /ads directory. I'll dig into that as soon as I can.

Subject: ApacheCon "ads" on project sites - Help wanted

We have been discussing elsewhere the fact that we have a documented
process for including the current event "ad" on project sites. That doc
is here: http://apache.org/events/README.txt

We also track what projects are doing this. At the moment, 42 projects
are, while 158 are not.

Several people have indicated a willingness to help me reach out to
those 158 and encourage them to help us out, and this requires a little
coordination, so that we're not irritating projects, or communicating a
mandate rather than a request, or otherwise miscommunicating.

To that end:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/101O3EVBYv_QhHW74bFLoO89ydaXoUJW4AC97YhnR530/edit#gid=0

The process goes like this.

1) If you're going to help out, pick a project and put your name beside it.

2) Go to the project's website, and check. It could be that they are in
fact promoting the event, but our automated checks aren't catching it.

3) Contact the project's dev list. This may require that you actually
subscribe to it, or you can use the http://lists.apache.org/ interface.
Ask them politely to do step one in the README.txt linked above. If
appropriate/possible, offer to do it yourself. But understand that
people have put a lot of work into their websites, so be patient and kind.

4) Update the spreadsheet with status as appropriate. Link to the
mailing list thread  with a lists.apache.org URL.

That's all.
