The flow project itself seems pretty open, but it depends on gumsticks, 
which have closed hardware but seem to be widely supported by open 
software & corresponding communities.

It sounds an interesting project, and will be available much sooner than 
the gta02-core or 'future' work which we have started, although these OM 
/ gta derivatives might have more potential in the longer term.

I echo everyone elses thanks to Sean and the rest of the team that have 
had involvement with OM - you guys both achieved a lot, and did so 
openly in a way that gives us a platform to build from.  Through the 
last couple of years and now, thanks for communicating as openly as you 
have.

It's down to us now, and I look forward to both contributing myself, and 
benefiting from the contributions from the whole community.
