If there is a chance to get the news module life, I agree with Christoph
[1] to follow David's third option:

"I'd suggest again rolling out that News section, where we could give a
lot more room to initiatives such as these,... " [2]

I don't know if it is possible to include graphics in the news section, 
what would be even more eye-catching than just a text and link.

While the conference itself should go on the header, the news section is 
a better place for the CfP and other conference related news and 
contribution requests.

I'd keep the header for information targeted to the overall public:

On the one hand similar to tiny press releases - with links to more 
information. On the other hand donation request or any other information 
we want to be kept aware in the outer public area.

The conference is oriented towards the community. The Call for Papers 
information might be relevant to every community member. It is nor 
relevant to our present users, potential users and other visitors of our 
website.

Nevertheless I'd support a button containing the Conference logo 
combined with a badge "Submit your paper!" or something similar like you 
already mentioned on the design list. [3]

This button could be positioned on places where community members are 
likely to go: The wiki and other collaborative tools we use in different 
teams (documentation, translation, website development, developer tools 
etc). Even external areas of interest (for developers or any other team 
might get such a button.

Best regards

Bernhard
