Interesting links from the M2M and IoT world.
IoT meets the Cloud – OpenIoT
OpenIoT is a EU funded project to research IoT and the cloud. Not really sure what to make of it but something to watch.

Open vs Proprietary Announcements
There is a lot of proprietary/closed minded thinking in the M2M / IoT industry. For example, Wind River (Intel) and Fujitsui both announcement M2M / IoT gateway products this past week:
