Description
Though I haven't used it yet, http://wordpress.org/themes/sixteen looks to be a good and free match for the $49 http://themetrust.com/themes/hero, which I have used and enjoyed on the Macaulay eportfolio install (e.g. at macaulay.cuny.edu/eportfolios/chudnovsky13/).
Attractive features of Sixteen:- responsive, including a responsive slider
- customizable header, footer, and background
- parallax effect supported
- grid layout for homepage
- custom menus supported
- left or right sidebar
It's also well rated: with 108,947 downloads and 11 reviews, it's at 4.6 / 5.0 stars. Reviewers especially praise the designer's quick responses to support questions.
I'd like to try it out for my personal homepage, but suspect it could be quite useful for organizations and group blogs.

Thanks, Ben. We can also look into buying the premium theme if you'd prefer.

Thanks, Matt! I haven't dug deeply enough into the premium features of Hero to know whether it'd be worth it for the community. I trust the Commons team has a process for judging new themes, and I'll trust that process to make the call.

Thanks, Ben. We'd look into the premium theme if there was a compelling reason to buy it, but it sounds like you're agnostic on the issue, so we'll go ahead and look at Sixteen, and we can consider Hero at a later date if there is a need for it.

Ben, this'll be available after the release later tonight. I'll update this post when it is.
