YAPC home page has awkward layout, doesn't display all sponsors

[Darren Duncan]

I agree with Jim Keenan on his main point that all the sponsors should be shown 
at once staticly, rather than an animation of one at a time.  I also generally 
think that animations looping through a list of things is a fad and that static 
displays are better on web pages.  I disagree on the Camelia logo and think it 
looks perfectly fine. -- Darren Duncan
