This begs the question, is there an Open Source IoT Suite?
First we may need to define what all an IoT Suite does and what services it entails. That could be a fun thread to 'debate' upon.
Wouldn't it be nice to have an open source collection of tools that I could run on my own servers on my own network or deploy on any cloud provider's IaaS offering or as a cloud provider fire up in my cloud as a SaaS offering?
There's mraa (with upm built on top) that supports various languages and boards. It's sponsored by Intel, but it supports the Raspberry Pi as well.
You sound like a Microsoft sales man. That is not cool.
See my reaction to this on a similar thread here just now.
