 25 Removal of Gallery

Because of the hard maintenance and low benefit the gallery pages bring to the Project and the listed websites, it has been decided to spend the time working on other stuff related to FreeBSD than these pages. The gallery will be removed in two weeks, no further submissions will be processed. However, this has no influence on the Commercial Gallery.
