There are also many assets that can be produced

Part Libraries

• Stock steel tubing library - stock steel sections of all steel. This could be implemented simply as a parametric spreadsheet in FreeCAD, where you type in the length of a select steel section. The more advanced version could be a a workbench which allows you to generate any stock steel section. Metric and imperial.

Video Production

• Highlight videos - vine videos or 1 minute and under other videos consisting of: (1) raw footage from YouTube; (2) FreeCAD CAD. (3) FreeCAD ported into Blender; (4) FreeCAD ported into WebGL explosions. (5) Basic Video Scripts of refined content. See also Crowd Video Protocol and OSEdit, and Collbarative Video Protocol, Open Source Soundtracks, and Explainer Video and Tablet Blackboard Instructionals. For example, GVCS in 2 Minutes and the OSE Anthem were produced completely independently by taking online OSE assets. The only requirement is pure skill and passion - to refine loads of content into bitesize packets.
