Description

Users visiting the site might want to see some of the neat projects that have been open sourced within the DoD. It would be good to have a snapshot of two or three of these on the homepage, above the fold.

(Perhaps a slideshow instead of the static hero element?)

Research direction
Start by examining the current homepage layout, likely in index.html or similar. Identify where the hero section is defined. Review the 11 comments on the issue for design preferences (e.g., slideshow vs static cards). Implement a simple slideshow or static grid featuring a few open source projects. Test locally or in a fork. No linked PRs or assignees indicate work is open.
