We're brewing something to get stuff moving again. The general goal is to lower the barrier for building open hardware and create a new kind of cooperative ecosystem. We've been writing the manifesto for a while now, and we want to make sure it all makes sense before revealing it. Although I'm a contributor, and I'm in full support, it wasn't my idea, and I'm not taking lead on it, so I'm not in a position to say more at this time.
The OGP has accomplished a great deal, and I'm not about to just let that fizzle out. Sadly, our initial approach was too ambitious. We simply could not afford to make and sell OGD1 boards. Linux Fund had 25 of them made, but that didn't jumpstart things like I had hoped. So now, we need to step back and come up with a more practical way to ramp up. We also need to look beyond graphics, because other open hardware projects have had more success with smaller things. I'm glad to say that there is an existing OGP contributor (who was also on the OHF board) who has some better ideas about how to do this than I had.
