Charlotte - static

[bridgetkromhout]

Hey, @mattstratton -

Would this trigger the problems you saw with static stuff earlier? Not positive I fully understand them.

This is my attempt at an MVP to get an old site back online:

• a minimal data yaml file that just has the date stuff necessary to make the event show up.
• An import/modify of the index.html into the welcome.md (I couldn't easily see how to just redirect)
• everything else is static.

Drawbacks: sponsors missing on front page, possible build issues, too many logo files eventually, will need to revisit, slightly manual
Upsides: gets the site back up much faster, preserves all links

What do you think? If you think this is okay I'd do more like this.

Also, I still would like to actually migrate everything. It's just too slow, imo, though. I'd like stuff to be not-missing as soon as possible.

I think this should be safe. I had toyed with this idea myself and never did it. The downside is we will end up with a lot of sponsor image duplication but I think we can deal with it.
