View Poll Results: Open Source Single Board Computer of the Year
I realize the RPi is not strictly open source due to its processor but leaving it out here is just hairsplitting. It runs linux out of the box and just works. I did not vote in this poll because of its ommission.
That new Pi0 is cool (if my Pi ever dies that is what I will get) but FOSS is one thing, true freedom is another and hardware seems the toughest bound...
Am leaning* towards Arduino; something about the fact that one can make it basically from RadioShack (https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Standalone) seems right to me, however how "open" are shields?

I looks really good - it's just I can buy 5 RPis for the price of 1 minnowboard. I think the whole point/appeal of RPis is that they are so cheap for what they offer.
