This one looks much better than what we had before. Thanks again for
working on this. I however still think it's too dense. I would remove
the section in the middle with all the links I don't think these are
particularly usefull. If someone want's to find the website of one of
these companies, they can just search for the company name on any search
engine and will certainly find the right site. Maybe with the gained
space you could hilight the debconf13 website a bit more. From there on
it's even easier to find the companies websites. I don't think we ever
promised to put the URLs onto the thank you ad.
The other thing I'm not sure about is if it's really a good thing to use
the DebConf13 logo font for a whole sentence like "The Debian Project
would ...". I'd prefer a more neutral font. But as this is mostly a
matter of taste, if you as the designer prefer it the way it is, it's OK
for me.
