Add links to bosc, cofest, event awards
Move event awards higher in list
Adding qualifiers ("some years", "occasionally") to two of the activities that actually we don't do much of. I'm wondering if we should remove the "managing servers" item - we don't really do those things anymore, do we? That item at least needs to be updated, if not removed completely.

We do still maintain the mailman server, but that might be all now with the former WordPress and MediaWiki instance only online for reference as we finish the GitHub Pages moves.

We continue to maintain the mailman server and also the Apache server for some virtual hosts and static websites. We also still host some subdomains for preservation purposes (biomoby.open-bio.org, obda.open-bio.org, emboss.open-bio.org, to give some examples).

Ok - how should this item be edited?

Managing servers, colocation facilities, bank account, domain names, and other assets for the benefit of our member projects.

I think OBF still does all that, albeit much via SPI now.

We don't do "colocation facilities" anymore (nor does, I think, SPI), so arguably that can be deleted. And we could amend the statement to qualify servers as cloud-based.
