Hi Noah,

thanks for the update. I was a bit surprised that the PSF now sports a new page linking firms who have donated hardware or services without the board being involved.

While I don't think that anyone from the board would object to having such a page, I do think that the board has to approve such important changes to the PSF website. Looking at the website repository, Martin added the original infrastructure page on 2012-02-23. Perhaps Martin could shed some light on this ?!

I also noticed that we now have two directories mentioning the infrastructure sponsors:

http://www.python.org/psf/infrastructure/ http://www.python.org/psf/league/

and that the "League" entry in the left hand menu only shows up in the PSF top-level

http://www.python.org/psf/

and not in the lower level entries, e.g.

http://www.python.org/psf/about/

Steve Holden and I both gave Noah the nod for this. So blame us.

The board was involved, both Jesse and Steve were made aware that I was adding new logos to the site and approved of the more whimsical name. Having such a page is standard procedure when signing up new sponsors, and I spent much of PyCon going out in search of more partners to improve infrastructure stuffs.

Just an older version. I moved the source page, but the automated builder doesn't remove stuff automatically.

Also just a side-effect of the builder hooks not running a full rebuild. I tried deciphering the build system last night, but couldn't see the Right Way to do a rebuild safely. As individual pages are updated, it should be made visible. If someone wants to run a full site rebuild I would be grateful. --Noah

Thanks for the note; Jesse already explained. Sorry, if this came across as criticism of how you handled this (much to the contrary).

Ok, but I think you also need to update some links pointing to that old URL, e.g. http://www.python.org/psf/
