Attached is the current version of the boston2008 mission block, it is a hack job and has several issues:
A) Shouldn't be hard-coded in the theme
B) Shouldn't have style tags to hard-code CSS into the template
C) Maybe should use the drupal.org ul style.

Request from sooz, Drupalcon event planner:

Please change the link on "Acquia conference social, Mar 4" in the Mission table of links to
http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/acquia-conference-social-march-4th

Thanks.

A revised patch with this change is attached. I am also going to fix the live server now.

I'd like to add the ability for us to theme panes like regular ole' blocks on the new front-page. The way to do it is in a theme override function in template.php, imho (from speaking with merlinofchaos). The code is below. I do not have bluebeach's template.php so I can't really produce a diff/patch file. Below is the code that needs to be added to template.php to allow us to do this. It keeps it pretty flexible, too, and kind of unintrusive (only does it if you "tell it to").

function phptemplate_panels_pane($content, $pane, $display) {
  if (strstr($content->css_class, 'paneasblock')) {
    $content->subject = $content->title  ;
    return theme('block', $content);
  }
  return theme_panels_pane($content, $pane, $display);
}

.cw.

The links in the orange box do not need to be a table. The empty div#missionlinks{n} provides height for the floated ul#missionlinks>li. Clearing does not work since there are various levels of floating going on for the other header components. {n} can currently be 2, 3, or 4, it is the number of rows of links.

Not sure how this plays into things, but the structure of the Mission block has been altered in the new front page design. See http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/front-page for the current redesign status. I believe that most of the tabled links are now broken out into elements on the page.

I committed the snippet in #3.

I'm not quite sure what to do with the mission patch since it is deprecated by #5 and doesn't really need to be committed anyway. Kieran mentioned getting the whole Boston theming team on our or another repository. That is a good idea, open another issue for it if you want to use Drupal.org's private repository, we can make a branch for Boston.

We want to change the Flickr photoset that the home page mission block is using. On Monday night, we hope to have a bunch of photos uploaded to Flickr into a new/different photoset, so that we can start displaying photos from the current conference, rather than past conferences.

Is it easy to change which url/photoset it's using, or is it easier to just add/remove photos from the existing one?
