	*		*Alternative: achieve a 100-person build, $30k net - which almost doubles are revenue requirement

			Issues Notes: different scenarios have different requirements/development paths.
			*100-person build is an interesting option
			*If we have a truly 1-click DIY ordering option - do we charge for that service to get revenue? Code of course remains open source.
			*It appears that the overall process is so complicated that an average person (a consumer) is not able to go through it, thus we have planty of customers.
			*If customers are makers - then they are not likely to attend a workshop
			*Perhaps we need to refocus workshop on other values - including inspiration, networking event, community event, etc.
