This was a nice BOF, and it was good to see some of the gadgets that folks are making. When I was working at Sun, I had a hard time showing a business case for arduinos, maker controllers, or other cools stuff to develop on. What a surprise to see the Maker Shed at OSCON, this is a perfect fit for open source development.
There will be more of this type of development in the future, you can bet on it.
Great BOF, great folks, and a bunch of new faces which only proves that this topic is of interest to many.

I don’t think high tech should be “all work and no play,” and the OpenSolaris BoF was a great demo of how to have a little fun when the work is done.
sounds interesting, too bad i didn’t make it
