Go looking for a community theme and the striking thing is not that you find the wrong ones: it is that the category does not exist. The Hugo theme gallery organizes its themes under twenty-one tags, and <em>community</em>, <em>event</em>, <em>meetup</em> and <em>conference</em> are none of them. Search the Astro catalogue for &ldquo;community&rdquo; and you get general-purpose bundles.</p>
