Hmm. Immediate thoughts are what message should be conveyed in the Lorem ipsum? aka What are the features and benefits that need to be advertised? This makes or breaks the value of having the banner.
The following themes imho should be included in a standardized banner:
- Where to turn to in case of CoC violations. (If you’re being harassed, noticed someone else being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact us immediately.)
- Why the .NET foundation CLA is cool (by signing one, you can contribute to them all without having to get more legal approval at your company)
- .NET Foundation projects are independent and not from Microsoft, it is created/maintained by unpaid volunteers; software is provided AS-IS with no support from Microsoft or the maintainers (unless they so decide to at their own accord). If you have an urgent problem then pay the maintainers [via opencollective] to get your problem fixed at market rates and/or help out with labor (aka opensourcefriday.com or become a regular person who PR's the project) so the maintainers have compelling reasons to help you.
- Want to get started with open-source but don't know how? Speak with the maintainer and ask how you can help. The best contributions are often not code based. Instead of writing that blog post on your personal blog... why not send a PR into the documentation instead? Fragmentation of information leads to information fatigue.
- ++ more.

Whether it’s the CEO of Stripe, who secretly is on there giving $10, to Capital One, who was our first ever sponsor. Even AG Grid, another open source project, is there. I started talking with them at a conference in Copenhagen and said “Hey, you’re trying to build your enterprise and we have lots of hits on our documentation. Instead of spending $20,000 to sponsor one conference, you could spend the same for millions of impressions by being on our docs page.” They tell me they get 50–100 clickthroughs daily. It’s easy marketing, more impactful than conference sponsorships.
Our modern society runs on software. But the tools we use to build software are buckling under increased demand. Nearly all software today relies on free, public code, written and maintained by communities of developers and other talent. This code can be used by anyone—from companies to individuals—to write their own software. Shared, public code makes up the digital infrastructure of our society today. Everybody relies on shared code to write software, including Fortune 500 companies, government, major software companies and startups. In a world driven by technology, we are putting increased demand on those who maintain our digital infrastructure. Yet because these communities are not highly visible, the rest of the world has been slow to notice. Just like physical infrastructure, digital infrastructure needs regular upkeep and maintenance. But financial support for digital infrastructure is much harder to come by. In the face of unprecedented demand, the costs of not supporting our digital infrastructure are numerous. No individual company or organization is incentivized to address the public good problem alone. In order to support our digital infrastructure, we must find ways to work together. Sustaining our digital infrastructure is a new topic for many, and the challenges are not well understood. In this report, Nadia Eghbal unpacks the unique challenges facing digital infrastructure, and how we might work together to address them.

It would be nice if we could recommend projects that join the foundation to advertise to the world that they are members of the .NET Foundation. Of course, the banner would be optional but having a standard template would help making it easier for projects to just add it if the would like to. I suspect most wouldn't have any concerns, it's just that it's work and fighting images and Markdown isn't exactly what engineers love doing.
I like how it looks on xUnit and propose the following look & feel:
Clicking on the logo would take you here:
The markup will look like this:
Thoughts?
