Open Source Advertising - Sidebar - 2H 2011
It's time once again to support your favorite open source project through our Free Vote-Based Advertising for Open Source Projects. We are clearing the leader boards to start the first half of 2011 anew.
Here is your chance to create a Free Vote-Based Advertisement for an Open Source Project. Create a graphical ad for an open source programming project and post it as an answer to this question (in the right format), and it will feed live remnant ads on Stack Overflow.
Ad Requirements
It must be an advertisement soliciting the participation and contribution of programmers writing actual source code. This is not intended as a general purpose ad for consumer products which just happen to be open source. It's for finding programmers who will help contribute code or other programmery things (documentation, code review, bug fixes, etc.).
Your ad should be an original creation which has not previously appeared on Stack Overflow. Please do not resubmit entries that have appeared as ads on Stack Overflow in previous periods.
In order to work, the answers you post to this question must conform to the following rules.
Answer Template
[![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2] [1]: http://image-url [2]: http://clickthrough-url
Please do not add anything else to the body of the post. If you want to add any commentary, keep it in the comments.
Image requirements
- The image that you create must be 220 pixels by 250 pixels
- Can be hosted anywhere (tinypic, twitpic, your blog); we will mirror the image locally when we serve it.
- Must be GIF or PNG
- No animated GIFs
- Absolute limit on file size of 150 KB
The output, which ultimately will be served in an ad slot on Stack Overflow, can be previewed by clicking through to this URL:

Score Threshold
There is a minimum score threshold an answer must meet (currently 6) before it will be served up by that URL and shown on Stack Overflow. You can see all the ads that currently make the threshold and meet our criteria on this page:

You can also view the ads that meet the threshold using George Edison's StackAd Scroller
alt
text is NOT shown on mouse over. And even when shown by non-compliant browsers, thealt
should be describing what is missing, not some tag line. So maybe it should be labeled "The text used on browsers that don't support images" (like by readers used by visually impaired). If a mouse over is wanted too, then besides thealt
attribute, thetitle
should be specified as well, after the image or link URL. Like:[1]: http://image-url "Tagline to show on mouseover"
