Definitely yours is a better solution - and the footer looks great too now that
I understand! I misunderstood the importance, thanks for correcting this
because my examples DO take over the page and that is not the impact needed.

Maybe something like this, but on the right column only? I had tried
both the main text and the right column back at the time, but all I got
was similar to what Marcus got, and it is too obtrusive (and it doesn't
play well with optional elements on the home page, like the "This site
is also available in Italian" note).
So a solution could be to keep it in the footer across the site, but to
add a block with image, some text and rounded corners just above the
"Recent blog posts" on the home page). In short: I was trying to place
only the image and that didn't work, but wrapped in a div with a short
text as per your latest proposals it will probably work better.
Remember, there is also a 125x125 image at
http://www.apache.org/ads/ApacheCon/ if this can help.

Strange. Can some HTTP/HTTPS paranoid security measure get in the way?
But feel definitely free to copy the image to the main site and server
our "local" copy instead, in case this solves the problem.

That will need some rework sooner or later too. That space would be for
project announcements, while ApacheCon is a foundation-wide event that
we must surely promote, but not an announcement (I mean, this banner is
supposed to stay there until ApacheCon, 17-21 November; so it shouldn't
take over our announcements line).

Andrea.
