I think having 5-6 media partners is OK. As I said, we can make their logos smaller if it makes a problem on the main page. But I agree with Debarshi that we should be selective while choosing media partners. We've only been talking about conditions we have to fulfil, but I haven't seen any conditions for media partners. Someone who writes one, or even two articles about GUADEC is NOT a media partner. The cooperation should be much deeper. There should be some coordinated media campaign the media partners are involved in. But someone has to work with them, instruct them what we need to spread the word about and when, ideally prepare the messages. Anyone willing to pick the ball? Jiri > Lets put matters in perspective.
