[evergreen-outreach] progress draft

[Andrea Buntz Neiman]

Rogan this is an excellent first draft overall!

The "new seeds" graphics are the cutest things ever and I love them.

I don't hate the font but the spacing between lines is a little tight on
several pages.

I'd prefer a more diverse stock photo on the community interest group page.

For Amy and Elaine, I'd crop the photos in more from the sides and let the
text flow around them. This would also probably allow for better text
spacing.

For the commit charts, I know you said you didn't want to revisit
buuuuuuuut .... 2022 Top Authors cuts out the last name of Jason Stephenson
and we definitely need Jason-disambiguation here in Evergreen :)

No comments on releases since as you said that's still in progress.

I actually really love the conference / hackaway page and my only comment
is I'd make the sans serif font a little heavier and / or lose what looks
like a white outline on that font.
