[Box-Admins] [Board] Change the description of vm-dev?

[Bert Freudenberg]

This is it:

But since I was already there I simply changed it :)

Directly under that field is a longer "description" field. It's currently
blank. We may or may not want to put a link to opensmalltalk.org or GitHub
there. This would show up in the "About Vm-dev" section at
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/vm-dev
