David Van Horn, who's next year's ICFP publicity chair and was this year's chair, is a stand-up guy; he donated to the challenge, as did Manuel Chakravarty, who was program chair for this year's ICFP. I talked (well, emailed) with both of them directly after the conference, and they agreed with me that ICFP should publicize the AHP better, so I assume that the mention on the front page is a direct result of those conversations.
