Swap the headline. "Unlock. Contribute. Repeat." is the Eat. Sleep. Code. Repeat. format, and "Unlock" is not a thing a contributor does.

Suggested change
hero = { title = "Unlock. Contribute. Repeat.", subtitle = "Every key contributor started somewhere: a bug report, a talk, a line of code. This community is built one key at a time. Yours starts here.", image = "/img/community/hero-community.jpg" }
hero = { title = "Built by the community. For the community.", subtitle = "Every contributor started somewhere: a bug report, a talk, a line of code. This community is built one key at a time. Yours starts here.", image = "/img/community/hero-community.jpg" }

Two clauses ending in periods is the pattern the homepage hero already uses (content/_index.md:13, headings = ["FAST. RELIABLE.", "OPEN SOURCE, FOREVER."]). The three-beat imperative appears nowhere else on the site.

The subtitle edit drops one word: "every key contributor" reads as "every important contributor", which cuts against the thing the sentence is trying to say.

hero-community.jpg is 1120x746 used as a full-bleed background-size: cover. Above ~1200px viewport it upscales, and it is visibly soft at 1440. Needs a ~2400px source.

2.6 MB of JPEG for 13 thumbnails. All of these are 1600px wide except 05 and 11 (520) and 12 (800), rendering into a ~370px slot on desktop. Roughly 4x oversampled. Downscale the sources to ~800px, or run them through Zola's resize_image in the template.

Cut this one. It is the same two speakers, same outfits, same stage as community-photo-01.jpg on line 15, shot from a different angle, and the alt text is nearly the same sentence. Nothing in the frame reads as Valkey either: the slide is unreadable and the backdrop is out of focus. 01 keeps the moment and at least has the logo on the backdrop.

Down to 12 photos, which also makes the carousel 4 clean pages of 3 instead of 5 with the last one overlapping.

templates/community.html:19 concats this list onto every /community/* subpage's own cards, and :30 applies target="_blank" unconditionally. All six old cards were absolute https links so that never showed. Three of the new ones are not, from public/community/scale-2026/index.html:

<a href="/community/meetup-groups/" class="btn" target="_blank">Meetup Groups &amp; Charter</a>
<a href="/events/" class="btn" target="_blank">Upcoming Events</a>
<a href="#email-signup" class="btn" target="_blank">Newsletter</a>

#email-signup opening a new tab to the same page is the bad one.

Was inheriting these on the event subpages intended at all? If yes, port the is starting_with("http") check from community-home.html into community.html. If no, move the cards out of the section's [extra].

Does the Code of Conduct need to be a block? It renders as a 212px full-bleed gradient panel whose one action goes to /code_of_conduct, and default.html:106 already puts a Code of Conduct link in the footer of every page, just below it. On the old page this was a card in the grid.

Put it back as a card. Drops the block, 30 lines of SCSS, and one of the five content widths.
