Tyler,

I think it is completely sensible to be promoting FOSS4G as much as we can.
Should this banner go in the center pane?  It seems like it might be a bit
wide in the center area.  I tried it briefly, and the result looks like this

Note that site announcements and so forth are getting push aside despite
a fairly wide window?
