Thank you for this effort!

Just a quick comment about the 4 freedoms before I delve into the text.
On the index and download pages of the website there is currently a
banner with a link pointing to a recap of the Devuan Conference last
April. That link temporarily replaced a banner which read:

"Devuan GNU+Linux is a free software operating system for your
computer. Free software means you are free to use, copy
and distribute, study, change the software, and share your
modifications with the community."

I was thinking that for the Beowulf release, the Conference announcement
should probably be removed from the banner and moved to the Team page.
If we decide to do that, do we want to reinstate the 4 freedoms in the
banner or remove the banner entirely except for special announcements.
Please share your thoughts.
