<div dir="ltr">Great, working with Saman here on an update to the open pull request [1]. We'll do a carousel where we show Birmingham's ad [2] first, then SanFran [3], alternating every 5s in as unobtrusive a way as possible. Both linked to their corresponding conference sites. I hope this works for everyone. Update + screenshot coming in a bit.<div>

<div>That's actually quite massive. <span style="font-size:12pt">165x165 pixels</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12pt"><br></span></div><div>Previous banners were smaller e.g. 165x116 for this SOTM PDX one. I think the tokyo one (c<span style="font-size:12pt">an't find it in github just now) </span><span style="font-size:12pt">was shorter than it was wide too. </span></div>

</div><div><br></div><div>A taller image shoves things further down the page. "Make a donation", and indeed the bottom of the banner image itself will start to fall off the bottom of the screen for non-logged in users. <span style="font-size:12pt">I'd suggest that should be redesigned a bit less tall in line with previous banners. (agree / disagree anyone?)</span></div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>But we could consider a banner at size 165x50 similar to this SOTM scotland banner, or shorter even :</div><div><a href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/blob/749caaff73596e284c39ce7d0a840f8a0a50687d/app/assets/images/sotmscotland.png" target="_blank">https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/blob/749caaff73596e284c39ce7d0a840f8a0a50687d/app/assets/images/sotmscotland.png</a><br>
</div><div><span style="font-size:12pt"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12pt">That's if we wanted to place both banners, SOTM black bull and SOTM US, on top of eachother. So in this case we'd need the SOTM US image a bit smaller too. This one:</span></div>

</span></div><div><br></div><div>Does anyone want to prototype that?</div><div><span style="font-size:12pt">...or it's probably quite trivial to put in a bit of randomised flipping code, if we just go with both images at a larger size.</span><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
