Hmm... I discussed a bit this on the #debconf12-nicaragua channel. I
*think* most of the target audience for this page won't like having
changing elements animated/shuffled/changing on the page.

The only ideas I could come up with (but, please keep in mind I'm far
from a Web designer) are:

a) Avoid long pages. If a page is over two screens long (just coming
   up with a random measurement, leogg would most probably tell us the
   right length), split it in two subpages.

b) Add a button in the upper part of the page referring to the
   sponsors' part of the page (i.e. a <a href="#sponsors">)

I really oppose having an animated sponsor-div. And I think it would
decrease exposure for each of the individual sponsors. Also, having a
separate webpage (as LCA does in http://linux.conf.au/sponsors/sponsors)
reduces sponsors' visibility.
