we are sticking with open source, arduino has moved away from that and sparkfun has an open-source certification revoked due to not being open source.

What's the drama with Pebble? I thought everything was rosy since the reboot?

There was conflict between the new (old) hardware manufacturer Core Devices, and the Rebble community that's maintained the app store and software for the original Pebbles. I think they've worked it out, but it got ugly for a bit.

Now owned by Qualcomm, not exactly know for their open source friendly attitude.
