The last day to vote is Monday, so I'd like to get this on the front page of d.o either today at some point, so people know they need to vote over the weekend (ticket sales drop drastically between Fri & Mon), or better yet, really early Monday morning, so they know they need to vote on Monday. I usually leave the window open till about midnight west-coast time, so that should be enough time.

laura s commented+1 on importance.
Another angle to add would be something along the lines of "Vote to help make sure the sessions you want to see will be selected!"
Would be nice to have the DC logo on it. The call to action is the only link. Would it be good to link to the home page as well, and mention as an aside that sponsorships are available?

gdemetHi Jen - Front page posts are intentionally scheduled 24 hours apart, and as we did not have this on the schedule, we've already posted a story today. We can promote this tomorrow though, and it can then remain up through the weekend. We have a story scheduled for Monday, but this can be pushed to Tuesday if necessary.

gdemetI should have the opportunity to make the edits and additions Laura suggested later today so we can promote this later in the afternoon after the current story has had its full 24 hours.

gdemetOkay, I've gone through, made some minor copy edits, added the DCSF wordmark, and a paragraph about sponsorships. I'm giving this my +1 and marking it RTBC; this can get promoted anytime after 2pm CST today.

gdemetThis event has passed, but I'd like to keep it promoted, as it contains information on how folks can become sponsors.

gdemetRemoved issue from home page, as we have a new DCSF story up now.
