I'd want it. I'd like to be able to sit at the breakfast table, and say "Hey Open-Source Siri, is it going to rain today?", "What's interesting on Slashdot today?" and things like that, and it tells me, without me getting the jam on the cell phone. Amazon of course does things like that, but I don't want a black box with a 24x7 microphones in my house. If it were open-source, that'd be entirely different.
It's focused on running web apps, rather than developing then, but if you can get Apache and PHP and MySQL etc for a webapp like ownCloud fully installed and configured with a single command, as UBOS does, it may help you anyway. UBOS is a very small distro but you can always point your repositories back to Arch, from which it is derived, and that should give you whatever packages you want.
It's very close to Arch Linux. Inheriting rolling release, current versions of packages etc. But we want to do more QA before releasing packages so we can avoid that the user has to "manually fix" app installation problems which doesn't really work for headless, keyboardless devices in home automation etc. And we built a lot of management code on top of package management (pacman) so that the user never has to edit/etc/ or other configuration files, or provision a database, or figure out which files to back up etc. E.g. here are some of the things that the "ubos-admin createsite" command does: http://ubos.net/docs/developer...
We're building a new Linux distro called UBOS for this. It's pronounced You-Boss:-) because there are no backdoors, tie-in's to somebody else's cloud strategy etc. For users, it focuses on making it a lot simpler and less labor-intensive to run web apps at home, and for application developers, it becomes a lot easier to deliver web apps to their users who may not have time (or knowledge) how to provision a database or configure a web server or re-installed apps every time they get updated -- because if we can do that, we don't need somebody else's cloud, and we can be independent netizens doing "indiependent IoT" in our homes http://ubos.net/
LID -- Light-Weight Digital Identity -- is an entirely decentralized digital identity system that uses URLs as identifiers. Yes, you can host your own. It's so simple, the average Slashdot hacker can probably implement from scratch in an afternoon, and it supports SSO, VCard-based contact management, FOAF-based social networking, authenticated messaging and many other applications.
Slashdot Mirror
https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod... is listening 24x7, otherwise how could it hear you say "Alexa"?

The Vaani wiki states: "No longer an approved project" (right side of https://wiki.mozilla.org/Vaani), unfortunately.

If he wins, one could conceivably argue that merely "viewing" (ahem, listening to) audio/video files does not constitute illegal copying.
If he loses, one can argue that a number of industries already allow the (temporary) copying of copyrighted material because they show it on the web.
This case may turn out to be not be about porn.

Disclaimer: I'm one of the people who came up with it. I also talk about it and other systems on my blog at http://netmesh.info/jernst.
I just recently wrote a piece for AlwaysOn with a similar view, from the perspective of the inventor.
