You may have noticed that the front page already displays information 
about this event, so I'm not sure whether repeating the same information 
is entirely useful. Secondly your banner is the wrong dimensions - the 
latest banners are slightly wider.

Personally, I want to try and avoid this sort of banner promoting what 
is essentially a developers/techie event. The banners should be about 
promoting GNOME and explaining what the project is, and the 'events' or 
'news' columns can be used to promote other activities.
