It was wrapped up as a legal entity. Donations received by the OHF were
transferred to LinuxFund.org and contributed to funding the production
of OGD1 boards.
Basically, running a non-profit corporation is a lot of work, just in
paperwork and such. Trying get 501(c)(3) non-profit status is even more
paperwork. The board of directors did what they could to help, but in
reality very few people want to do the hard, boring, behind the scenes
stuff on such a project. I had to much going on in my personal life to
be able to devote the time needed and the folks over at LinuxFund.org
were willing to take over the role of getting the OGD1 boards funded for
production so the decision was made to shut down the Open Hardware
Foundation.
That's the short version.
