It's a tricky thing to do, but I think something has to be said for the accomplishments of people in the channel. For example, A13 made Toni. For most people, this is a shocking feat, "You made your own SBC!?!?!" they should say. Indeed, A13 did make it. However, the tool geppetto would similarly allow anybody to make their own SBC in no time at all. Stuff like this needs to be represented and shown in more of a "You can do it too" manner, along with anything else that is relevant.

As for how to do it, I'm not sure. Videos, blogposts and articles on medium (or any other platform) would be a great start. It would highlight precisely what this place is about. Making things happen, for people who otherwise would not know how to do it, or be in a position to achieve it monetarily, emotionally, requiring motivation, etc. This is just a thought I had.

Toni cannot be the only example of a project that would blow minds to discover how simple it was to achieve by participating in the Discord. When they present themselves, we should endeavor to do one of those three things. Videos, blogposts or articles.

We were very vocal about the usage of Geppetto and already created a Livestream about it as well as showcasing Geppetto in 2 other Livestreams. Videos and Other Media is planned to share the Story.
Also there is another Revision of Toni planned build with a proper CAD tool. Geppetto was only used to create Prototypes for the proof of concept.

@MatthewCroughan ,

I love this! Hmmm... Will need to figure out how to set the stage for something like this. It is a great idea to showcase and celebrate the successes of the server, and these should be well documented, logged, and easily referenced as needed to demonstrate the our fellow members' accomplishments. Will make sure to update this issue as we explore some options here...

Cheers!
