[SAC] OSGeo sponsor logos

Jeroen, Jody
I am continuing this conversation on the SAC mailing list.
I can see Jeroen's point of view, and I really feel that changes need to be
made.
I might not be very active following this conversation in the following
days, Jose, my son, caught Corona on the trip back to Mexico and is having
a hard time.

If it is not too much trouble, Jeroen, can you check on the details of the
sponsor benefits and see what is being covered and what is not, I would
really appreciate it, as right now my mind is on my son.

I will look to open a ticket based on all the findings.

Regards
Vicky

Hi Vicky and Jody,
Thanks for the update! I do have a comment still, which is more related to
professionalizing the way sponsors are recognised:

   - The sponsor level defines the size of logo’s. This is true on the
   sponsors page, but it does not apply currently to the OSGeo homepage. The
   same is true for the order of display and the maximum sizes of the logos. I
   think this needs changing. There should be a maximum size (hight and width)
   that keeps logo’s in relative proportion. I am now tempted to create an
   enormous logo similar to the OpenGIS.ch logo. That logo completely occupies
   the page when opening it IMHO. Same for the ordering. I understand that
   e.g. pygeoapi runs a small script that changes the order of display on
   every page loading to ensure all sponsors are equally represented.
   - On the home page it would be nice to have a running banner that
   shows all sponsors without a page reload. And obviously I also think the
   level of sponsorship should be visible on that banner (in size, with a
   stamp, in the order they are displayed!?). There are all kind of options to
   improve this.

Sorry to bother you about this, but I honestly feel sponsors should be
recognised more clearly according to the sponsoring level.
Cheers,
Jeroen

Hello Jeoren & Jody,
Now it looks better. One after the other.

About centering:
The php code was using a list (<ul><li>imgcode1</li><li>imgcode2</li></ul>)
but the css on those tags have:

list-style: none;
...
display: inline-block;

which makes the images to be on the same line.
So the cramp is because it's wrapping to the next line.

So I removed the list: <ul><li>imgcode1</li><li>imgcode2</li></ul>
and changed to: imgcode1</br></br>imgcode2</br></br>

No centering.
But on the cel phone it still looks fine :slight_smile:

Regards
Vicky

Vicky and myself do our best to manage the website.

What do you think Vicky is this a theme fix, or should we upload the
GeoCat logo with some white space around it?

I think is supposed to be centred in a 400x400 block?

Hi Jody,
I hope you had a safe trip and made it back home.
Maybe you can check the layout of the OSGeo sponsors page (or ask
someone that takes care of this)? The GeoCat logo is really cramped against
the camp2camp logo. Looks really ugly.
Thanks! Jeroen
