Dana apparently has a personal interest in Home Automation and pitches in. Basically he welcomes an open approach to what he thinks is a proprietary world. He thinks we don't think big enough, wants us to think about elderly care and pacemakers that BT over to base etc and writes The company which can deliver a truly open platform to these nascent industries won’t be the Apple of home automation. It will be the Microsoft of the new century.
He picked up on the software focus of our effort and the standards push, these are good messages, they ring true. I think we should draft on standards like KNX and establish run-time standards. All good.
This is great coverage. Thanks for the support and feedback Dana.

Looks like he covered the Door Locks and the FridgeCam from my blog post: http://openremote.org/Members/SomedayMaybeTheFutureOfHA
But he forgot about the TrashBot and the RabbitBot among others! :)
