Humorously, while trying to demonstrate they aren't a creator, they point out many things that they do create/make.

You can create intangible things. You can make people more educated/smarter. You can make a community. You can make an information hub.

The "maker" community is not the opposite of the "community work" community, but rather that of the "consumption" community.

At least, coming from the 'maker' community, this is how I observe it to be. Making things, no matter how small or insignificant, provide a more beneficial boost than consuming something. And thus making something is good.
