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

Tonight I had occasion to go to the main web page for this year's 
conference:

http://www.yapcna.org/yn2015/

In the section under Sponsors, at any given time a large logo for one 
sponsor takes up a lot of screen real estate.  This appears to rotate 
through various sponsors' logos over time -- and through the hideous 
Perl6 Camelia logo as well -- but doesn't give the viewer a picture of 
*all* the sponsors at once.  You have to click on a link set in a much 
smaller point size and go to 
http://www.yapcna.org/yn2015/sponsors.html#become-sponsor to see the 
complete list.

This is, IIRC, a departure from our past practice in which the sponsors' 
logos appeared in a sidebar in descending order of generosity.  In 
events I've organized, sponsors have always been promised some constant 
presence on the conference's home page.  I would ask the organizers to 
consider putting all the sponsors on the home page as we have done at 
past YAPCs.

Thank you very much.
