Sponsors page

[reshamas]

Should we add a sponsors page now, and then move the "Donation" info there?

[purna135]

We had a sponsors section https://purna135.github.io/pymcon-hugo/#pymcon_sponsors, but we decided to remove it because we had no sponsorship details. We can enable this section if we have some sponsors to display by simply changing the below line to true. https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymcon_2022_website/blob/d46a85230929ef922fbd15b157cfb530f674665e/config/_default/params.toml#L15

@purna135 Would you be able to help set up the Sponsors page? 1) make it visible 2) Sponsorship Option (so we have something on the web page for now) Sponsor an online event: $1000 Benefits:

• your company logo on all social media announcements
• your company logo, name and URL on the PyMCon sponsors page
• opportunity to do a 1-3 minute intro at the beginning of the online webinar (talk about your organization, any job postings, any projects you want to share, etc) 3) Contact us for custom sponsorships at: pymcon@pymc-devs.org

I meant "PyMCon". I updated the text in my comment. Thanks!

Do we require an additional page or section on our home page?

Do we require an additional page or section on our home page?

Yes!
a) Let's put Sponsors on their own page b) Let's add Sponsors to the header menu c) Let's move "Contact" to the footer

[purna135]

Ok, Thank you

[reshamas]

@purna135 Are you still able to update this page?

@canyon289 If Purna is not available, can someone help get the Sponsors page up?

[canyon289]

of course, anyone can update the website!

[purna135]

Sorry for the delay in responding; I was away from home for a few days and was unable to focus on this. I'm working on it now and will create a PR soon.

[purna135]

Hi @reshamas. I've created a draft here; could you please have a look and make some suggestions for improvements? I will remove the logos(Our Sponsors section) before I create a PR.

[reshamas]

@purna135 I think it looks good.

I would put some static section headers:

1. "Become a Sponsor" Add in table from google doc
2. "2023 Sponsors" and put a blank image that says "Become a Sponsor!"
3. "2020 Sponsors" (here, copy sponsor images from: https://pymc-devs.github.io/pymcon/)

[reshamas]

"Become a Sponsor" Add in table from google doc

not sure if we should add this now, or link to a pdf file once we finalize the prospectus.

I think there will be tiers for sponsors, so they would need to be indicated in the sponsor page, with higher tier sponsors appearing higher up in the page.

Personally I would also remove the animation and have all sponsor logos be shown always

[purna135]

Hi @reshamas. @OriolAbril, I revised some sections based on your suggestions, which can be found here; could you kindly have a look and recommend some improvements?

[reshamas]

@purna135 Thanks for this PR. I think the tables look nice!

My comments: a) For "(Contact us for custom sponsorships)", can you link directly to the "Contact" page? b) Where are the form messages going, which email address? Is someone monitoring that now? I sent in a couple of test messages. c) At the bottom, can we add in the "PyMCon 2020 Sponsors" and their logos in? d) Where it currently says "PyMCon 2020 Sponsors" at the top can we update it to "PyMCon 2023 Sponsors" and add a blank logo in that says "Sponsor PyMCon" and link that to the "Contact" page? e) email address here is: pymconference@gmail.com, but it should be pymcon@pymc-devs.org

[reshamas]

@purna135 I don't have any more comments at this time.

We currently have four sections, but is that order good or do we need to reorganise them? I merely created a few sections by reading the documents. We can leave the 4 sections for now.

[purna135]

Is there an external document I may link to with this button, or should I link it to our contact page?
