Not blowing it off at all. We realize that sales are important! Arduino guys are my friends, monome guys my friends, OSHW meeting I was there, helped draft the statements from Creative Commons on this stuff, and realized that the open hardware efforts are like blinking leds. They just can't make the impact we seek as a company and project.
I respect what all these friends do in Open Source Hardware, but it is quarantined to the dad's in the garage effect, hackerspaces, and other cool things. If not coding or helping on this project to publicize it, get some scrilla in that bank account! We have execution power, need the soldiers and scrilla. Ideas are easy!
