Your front page currently introduces OSv as:

OSv is the versatile modular unikernel ...

The fact that OSv is open-source is currently almost a footnote at the bottom of your
FAQ.

Please change this to read:

OSv is an <a href="(link to the FAQ)">open-source</a> versatile modular unikernel ...

I agree. When this site was designed, the "hip" way to say that something was open-source was to have a "fork me on github" ribbon on the right. I don't think anyone does this nonsense any more. Let's have text, with words like "open source" and even BSD license - with links to github, the license, and so on.

@wkozaczuk do you know how to edit the web site? I lost track of how where is its source...

  • IMHO a prominently displayed link to your repository and issue tracker is a good thing.
  • To me "fork me on github" is not automatically synonymous with free software - not every project on github is free software.
  • Why not both?
