Site-wide Promotions

At the top of each page on www.openoffice.org there is a highlighted promotional link.   Since our website gets 750000+ visits per day, this link can be very effective for promoting important announcements, such as ApacheCon, or new releases.  We used it with great results to promote our AOO 4.0 brainstorming activity also.  In order to make the best use of this resource, the following table will collect promotions that we wish to highlight on the website.  Some can be scheduled for specific future times.  Others can be rotated in where time is available.

Please observe the typical length of the announcement text here.  There is not a lot of space here, considering the large font used, so keep it short and eye catching.  No one comes to the website looking for your message.  You need to catch their attention.
