Thanks, so the answer is no, as long as that open source version is vaporware. The reason I asked is that once they get purchased by, say, Google or Facebook, their cloud services will probably get either shut down, or severely constrained. I'm not interested in sinking resources into a platform based on question marks.

(full disclaimer: I work at Spark, and am personally responsible for the local cloud) We will definitely be releasing this, we consider it a promise we made to our Kickstarter backers.

How can we help?

I'm looking for a wifi ingress monitor (ideally it would take a picture rather than be a simple sensor) - any suggestions. Also, re the spark: "No need to ever plug the Core into your computer" vs. "Power it over USB" Edit: scratch that, https://www.spark.io/# has details of a "battery shield" with a LiPo - an idea of the battery life when running the OP's sensor application would be nice though?

are you talking about "ingress" the google game? You are probably talking about physical security but if not, I would love to hear more about what this monitor would do for you to monitor the game

Sorry, I meant the boring one. Presumably in the Google one the app provides all the monitoring you need.

Thank you for asking, much appreciated. :)

We'll probably do a small beta as we get the local cloud ready for release to make sure things are easy to use and work as expected. Since it'll be open source, I'm hoping the beta group can help find bugs and even send in pull requests if there are pieces they want added. The beta signup thread is here at the moment: https://community.spark.io/t/where-is-the-source-code-for-th...

Thanks, David
