I just wanted to say a huge thanks to the dev's who put in so much time
and effort into this platform.

My 6 year old has been learning 'scratch' programming, so I decided
yesterday to give him something harder and start working with some
hardware.

The two of us sat down with a pi zero, GPIO dac, cheap AMP board, relays
and some old speakers and he wired them all up - we even installed them
into a metal case to go in his room. He loaded up PiCorePlayer onto the
SD card and booted it all up. In the space of a couple of hours we had a
fully functioning squeezebox setup for his room. I even gave him a spare
joggler to control it all. He is a very very proud/excited 6 year old.

The fact this community has the platform to a level which is quite
literally childs play is remarkable, especially given that included a
hardware build. You guys are awesome.
