All OK with me. I would like to start encouraging website owners to:

1. show banners supporting the funding drive
2. show banners/logo supporting LibreOffice

It would be great is we could offer people different sizes to pick from. 
The funding drive would be the most important for now, just in case the 
donations slow. It may helpful to get our funding banners on external 
sites. There are very few banners to choose from the Foundation 
Challenge wiki page[1]. We should have sizes that would fit the most 
likely locations of external sites. IMO, large banners are OK, but 
external sites are more likely to want left/right block areas to hang 
our banners.

Thanks for the reply and the help.

Cheers

Marc
