Image assets in Github

[ace-n]

Do we need these images in here? Each of these is ~13mb, and downloading them with git seems a little silly. (Maybe offload them to AFS or store them outside of git on the server somehow?)

Always nice to have a retrievable history of static assets, IMO. It's come in handy a lot with the conference website for instance.

Anyone else want to chime in on this?

I noticed that some of the n were assets were much smaller - around 1mb. I
might go through and see if losslessly compressing these helps at all.

I don't think it will matter since they are already in the git history.

[ace-n]

Yeah, that's what I was worried about. It might make the website faster
though (if/when they are used)...

idk if these images are used anywhere..

[colegleason]

Yeah I would rather use filter-branch to remove them. However, if we are using an image on the site it should be included in Git, IMO.
