We learned from the questionnaire that most of our community is from the technology industry (software, engineering, IT, etc.) It's great to see that we are also able to attract members from other fields such as healthcare, law, and transport. Most of our members 'dabble' with electronics or do it professionally. About 10% of members are women and we would very much like to improve on that.

On our Slack — where the majority of community interaction happens with about 75K messages so far — it's remarkable that there's an expert in almost any topic discussed. We discuss everything from individual projects to cooking, 3D printing, and PCB design. For every question, however trivial or complex, there are a few people that almost immediately help out. This community works! Members also contribute to a member-managed contribution site with project resources.

In the coming year we'll continue working towards making the community even more engaging, stronger, and more welcoming to everyone.
