This implies the campaign should remain open

If you mean the OCA sponsors recruitment campaign, yes, it stays open

I think we need simpler urls and stable that are not tied to odoo implementation details. Otherwise they will rapidly become broken as we upgrade Odoo etc...

That was the feeling I had but @sbidoul said it clearly :-)

Can you explain how to change a URL in odoo so that it stays the same after
a migration?

We can probably do somethings with Website Settings > Configuration > Redirects.

Another comment I have is about the banner. It looks very big and too "advertising".

If we see such a big banner on each addon page, either on pypi.org or our own app store, it will rapidly becoming tiring, I think.

See for instance how it looks now on https://pypi.org/project/odoo-addon-mis-builder/.

Can we do something less intrusive?

So the starting point of the banner idea is the idea that many users use the OCA modules without even knowing that they can "give back" to the community by sponsoring it or becoming members.
In the same time, the "refferal" url will give us the possibility to measure exactly how many people click on the banner and how many "convert" becoming members or sponsors. The idea is also to change this banner regularly, or even to make it evolve. We took as example other open source projects that live thanks to sponsors.

I understand the fear of annoying publicity but if it becomes annoying and in the same time we measure in 6-10 month that is inefficient, it will be a good reason to replace it or remove it completely.

Yes I understand the goal, but I'm pretty sure that using PyPI blatantly as advertising medium would be frowned upon.

We can achieve the same result with something a more discreet.

ok, I understand.
Is there a way to conditionally hide the banner on PyPI ?
If the answer is no, can we include a "promotional message" in text format, with a link to odoo-community website ? Would this be acceptable ?
