#2Pretty cool but I'm wondering if they are releasing the back-end as well?

#3Moving away from AngularJS to reduce dependencies, and also moving away from declarative JSON based configuration to more a function call based system...
Well this is interesting news indeed. The description also makes me wonder if they are aiming to use Crossbar.io, time will tell I suppose.

#4I could see this being adapted as a good v2 for http://riemann.io/dashboard.html ;
Obviously there are lots of dashboards in the world, but while there are substantial differences in UX (OpenMCT seems more approachable whereas riemann dash is very simple & "efficient" over a tall learning curve), the core "feel" of nestable / composable realtime data widgets between these two is noticeably more similar than either vis-a-vis any other relevant project I've played with.

#5Could I use this for a personal dashboard? It's meant to track telemetry, so that would include my walking routes, right? ;) Maybe I could also load up my todo list. I know, overkill, but it might be a huge ego thing to throw up a NASA developed Mission Control app on a huge monitor to track personal stuff. And each morning I could put on my headset and do a countdown to getting started for the day.

#6I think the biggest takeaway from this is diving into their research about the human consumption of a lot of information (UX, if you will).
I know NASA and the Air Force spent a lot of time seeing how humans pilots digested information under stressful conditions etc., which basically gave us the modern aircraft cockpit layout (and the fairly standard arrangement of the 6 critical instruments that are used in all small aircraft today).
I wonder (and hope) that this research also extended to the arrangement of critical data on a dashboard so that maximum information could be gleaned with as little eye (or mouse) movement as possible.

Interesting. Where do you see the plan?

#8I'm so happy that NASA has stopped using that weird license and just seems to be using Apache v2 for everything. I still don't quite get why there's a license at all for US government work, but there really is nothing objectionable about a standard free license like Apache.
